Leinster 12-7 La Rochelle
How on earth did La Rochelle not manage to get over?
The French side work it wide and have numbers, but Andrew Osborne puts in a big tackle on Ihaia West and his offload is just beyond the grasp of Gregory Alldritt.
If the captain had held onto that he would have been in.
Bevan Rodd
Finally!
Bevan Rodd is on hand at the back of the maul to score.
Sale 7-3 Sharks
Sale get their maul going and win a penalty. Deep into the corner the ball goes.
Leinster 12-7 La Rochelle
The PA announcer at the Aviva Stadium is doing his best to get the crowd hyped as the players emerge from the tunnel.
Let's hope the players get on board with that too.
Off we go.
Sale 7-3 Sharks
Sale have a good attacking platform but again are unable to convert in the red zone. Another Sharks player gets over the ball.
Sale 7-3 Sharks
A huge penalty kick from Siya Masuku goes wide. That was well over 50 metres and it had the length.
Sale 7-3 Sharks
Rob du Preez misses everyone with a long pass. A poor error.

Hopefully a more exciting 40 minutes...

Anyway, Leinster lead thanks to Joshua Kenny's two tries but it's all to play for.

Leinster 12-7 La Rochelle
It's a second yellow card for Leinster as Joe McCarthy is sent to the bin after a number of infringements from the hosts.
Leinster 12-7 La Rochelle
We've another stoppage as Jack Conan has blood leaking from a cut.
Alastair will have the Sale game wrapped up and be home for his dinner by the time we hit 40 minutes at this rate!
Leinster 12-7 La Rochelle
The hosts have the ball back but it's really slow.
I was going to say this one feels like it has gone in quite quickly, but we're still seven minutes from half-time and the whistle has already blown in the Sale game!
One try and not much else.
Sale 7-3 Sharks
It looks like both sides want half-time. Lots and lots of kicking.
Davit Niniashvili (con Le Garrec)
Anything Joshua Kenny can do....
La Rochelle go down the blindside from the scrum and Davit Niniashvili flies over in the corner despite the best efforts of Gibson-Park.
There's a quick check to see if he grounded the ball, but the try stands!
Nolann le Garrec adds the extras.

Hakeem Kunene races clear but Tom O'Flaherty chases him down. A glimmer of excitement!
Sale 7-3 Sharks
Joe Carpenter breaks clear but kicks it away. He needed to back his left peg!
Leinster 12-0 La Rochelle
After a blistering opening 10 minutes, things have rather settled down now.
It's been very stop-start since Joshua Kenny's second try.
Leinster are back to their full complement after Tommy O'Brien's 10 minutes in the bin.

Just like Sale, the visitors drop the ball when it matters. The ball is cleared.
