  1. La Rochelle 17-13 Leicester

    The home scrum has been rock solid and disruptive when needed, and the latest surge sees them win a penalty that allows the home side to clear downfield.

  2. Second half under way in Dublin

    Leinster 24-14 Harlequins

    We are back under way in Dublin, with Harlequins needing a big second half to fight their way back into the contest. Sam Prendergast kicks deep from the restart and Leinster regather, but a knock-on hands Quins the put-in at the first scrum of the half.

  3. La Rochelle 17-13 Leicester

    Adam Radwan, a bit of a throwback in that he looks quite small for a rugby player, gains some position with a cute grubber kick into the La Rochelle 22.

  4. Kick-off

    La Rochelle 17-13 Leicester

    Billy Searle kicks off as the second half gets under way in a rain squall.

  5. Half-time

    La Rochelle 17-13 Leicester

    Searle's successful kick is the last action of a half that La Rochelle have largely bossed, but the young Tigers are hanging on in there.

  6. Half-time

    Leinster 24-14 Harlequins (HT)

    Leinster take a 10-point lead into the break after a back-and-forth first half at the Aviva.

    Jordan Larmour has two tries, with Garry Ringrose and Ciaran Frawley also crossing for the hosts.

    Luke Northmore and Cassius Cleaves replied for Harlequins in what has been a spirited performance from the visitors so far.

    The first score after the restart could prove decisive.

    Ciaran Frawley (try); Sam Prendergast (conv)

    Leinster score right on the stroke of half-time and it all comes from a slice of good fortune. Dan Sheehan overthrows the line-out, but Ciaran Frawley reacts quickest to gather the loose ball and finish well. Sam Prendergast adds the conversion to stretch the lead to 10 points going into the break.

  8. Penalty - La Rochelle 17-13 Leicester

    Billy Searle

    That's good from the Tigers, they are quickly back to within four points after getting back into the other half, winning a penalty and seeing their fly-half land it with ease from head-on to the posts.

  9. converted try

    Converted try - La Rochelle 17-10 Leicester

    Oscar Jegou (con: West)

    Stirred by that try, the hosts suck the energy from the Tigers with a series of rucks and powerful runs until flanker Oscar Jegou crashes over by the posts.

  10. converted try

    Converted try: Leinster 17-14 Harlequins

    Cassius Cleaves (try); Jarrod Evans (conv)

    Harlequins land a crucial try. From a line-out, a sharp move straight off the training ground sends Cassius Cleaves bursting through the Leinster line and he sprints clear to score. Jarrod Evans adds the straightforward conversion to keep the visitors within touching distance.

  11. Leinster 17-7 Harlequins

    Harlequins lose a promising attacking chance with a knock-on in midfield. Leinster respond with a series of powerful carries to gain 50 metres, but the hosts are penalised for a croc-roll at the breakdown. Quins kick back into Leinster territory and look to build again with intent.

  12. converted try

    Converted try - La Rochelle 10-10 Leicester

    Joaquin Moro (con: Searle)

    What a fantastic try for the Tigers!

    Those 10 minutes off the pitch must have done something for George Pearson, who sliced through La Rochelle with a long, mazy run before feeding Joaquin Moro to his right.

    The number eight ran in under the posts, and Billy Searle converted to make it all square.

  13. La Rochelle 10-3 Leicester

    George Pearson has emerged from the bin of sin, the score for that 10 minutes was only 5-3 to the hosts so that is not too bad for the Tigers.

  14. try

    Try: Leinster 17-7 Harlequins

    Jordan Larmour (try) (25 mins)

    What a try for Leinster. Pure class from Sam Prendergast. A clever line-out move shifts the ball wide to the out-half, who sends a perfectly weighted cross-field kick to Jordan Larmour waiting on the touchline. The winger has a simple finish in the corner. Prendergast’s conversion goes wide.

  15. Penalty - La Rochelle 10-3 Leicester

    Billy Searle

    The Tigers are up and running after the fly-half pots a tough one from to the left of the posts.

  16. Leinster 12-7 Harlequins

    Referee Craig Evans goes back to review a high tackle on Jordan Larmour by Luke Northmore. It is deemed passive contact and Leinster are awarded a penalty in a dangerous position on the left, deep inside the Harlequins 22.

    Leinster kick to the corner and set a five-metre line-out. The maul slowly rumbles forward before the ball is spun wide and an across-kick is attempted for Tommy O’Brien. Harlequins get back to turn it over and survive another Leinster onslaught.

  17. La Rochelle 10-0 Leicester

    A cute kick from Billy Searle is just too far ahead of Ollie Hassell-Collins near the corner flag, but there's a penalty call and they may get another chance.

    Nothing doing, as Levani Botia gets his immense frame in the way as Leicester probe towards the try line.

  18. try

    Try - Jules Favre

    La Rochelle 10-0 Leicester

    The hosts take full advantage quickly, spinning the ball left and a long pass finds Jules Favre, who slides over in the corner where George Pearson might have been.

  19. Sin-bin - George Pearson

    Leicester are without their full-back for 10 minutes after he connected with Davit Niniashvili's head with his foot while in the air to collect a high ball.

  20. converted try

    Converted try: Leinster 12-7 Harlequins

    Garry Ringrose (try) Sam Prendergast (conv)

    End-to-end stuff in Dublin as Leinster strike again. From a scrum deep inside the Harlequins 22, quick ruck ball and powerful short-side carries from RG Snyman and Jack Conan create the space. Jamison Gibson-Park shifts it wide to Garry Ringrose, who dives over just to the right of the posts. Sam Prendergast adds the simple conversion.
