    Leinster 17-17 La Rochelle

    I have to say, this hasn't been the highest quality game but we're set up for an absolute grandstand of a finish.

    You can tell the pressure has ramped up - along with the noise - as West sends his restart kick out on the full.

    Can the visitors end things on a high? They go in search of a second try.

    Stunning. Simply stunning.

    Leinster win the ball on the halfway line and it's worked really well across the pitch.

    Josh van der Flier is the man on the wing and the flanker just puts his foot down and has enough gas in the tank to run 40 metres and score.

    Sam Prendergast's conversion attempt is wide and we're now level!

    It has not been pretty but this is the perfect result for Sale and exactly what they needed.

    With 15 minutes left, what do Leinster have in response? It's been one-way traffic in the second half but there's still only five points in it.

    Tom O'Flaherty, who has been excellent, is off for Gurshwin Wehr.

    Ben Bamber did everything right as he ran around the ruck and dotted it down. However, he lost the ball when grounding it.

    That is genius. I reckon Ben Bamber has scored that.

    La Rochelle lead for the first time as they finally make their pressure count!

    It's lost by Joshua Kenny in the middle of the pitch and the visitors come racing forward.

    They go through a couple of phases and fly-half Ihaia West manages to cross out wide.

    Nolann le Garrec, who stripped the ball off Kenny to start it all, lands a superb conversion.

    Sale penalty and into the corner it goes. I reckon this maul will result in a try.

    Leinster 12-10 La Rochelle

    La Rochelle butcher another gimme of a try!

    Simeli Daunivucu makes a superb break into the Leinster 22 but another handling error gifts the ball back to Leinster.

    That's two near-certain tries thrown away by the visitors now!

    Another textbook George Ford kick that finds space. He has played so well.

    Nolann le Garrec

    Nolann le Garrec brings La Rochelle to within two points of Leinster with one of the most straightforward penalties of his career.

    Right in front of the posts and he makes no mistake.

    Tom O'Flaherty (con George Ford)

    Bonus-point try.

    Joe Carpenter dances past a few defenders before finding Tom O'Flaherty, who shows off his sharp finishing skills with a big fend.

    Great try.

    Manu Tshituka (con Siya Masuku)

    Stunner.

    Manu Tshituka picks up the ball and gallops clear with only George Ford to beat.

    He glides past the fly-half with ease.

    Sharks have been taking their time at every break in play.

    They do have a good chance now deep in Sale's 22.

    Leinster 12-7 La Rochelle

    It's a shocker from La Rochelle. It's the equivalent of missing an open goal in football!

    It's been one-way traffic and Davit Niniashvili makes some good ground out wide for a three-on-one with the try line gaping.

    But Antoine Hastoy and Reda Wardi run into each other and it's knocked forward.

    Two players and one ball. That's a total mess.

    Joe McCarthy is back on after his yellow to further boost Leinster's spirits.

    Sharp.

    George Ford links with Obi Ene and he puts Tom O'Flaherty over in the corner.

    Neat play.

    Unbelievable kick into the corner by George Ford. Sale turning the screw.

    Sale 14-3 Sharks

    Sale look eager to get on with the game. A bonus point looks to be the aim.

    If Sharks get nothing from the game and Sale bag four tries then they are into the last 16.
