Live Reporting

Leicester v Bayonne by Steve Mather and Scarlets v Pau by Fraser Watson

  1. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    Sharks send the ball high into the air and Tom O'Flaherty knocks it into touch. Not pretty but effective.

    The visitors head into Sale's 22.

  2. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    Sale again drop it and another chance disappears. They just aren't clicking.

  3. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    The ball is stolen by Rekeiti Ma'asi-White and then Gus Warr kicks a brilliant 50-22. Class play from both.

  4. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    Lovely interplay from Sale but they can't get away. The ball again goes down. Not much to report in this one.

  5. No try - Leinster 12-0 La Rochelle

    Dan Sheehan

    It's almost superb from Leinster as Jamison Gibson-Park sends a perfect kick out wide and it's touched to Dan Sheehan by Joshua Kenny.

    The hooker races over to touch down but Matthew Carley says Kenny's pass to the Ireland hooker was forward and it's ruled out.

  6. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    That was really impressive defence by Sale. So solid and never under threat. The ball is eventually kicked away.

  7. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    The ball is popped into the corner after a scrum penalty.

  8. Sale 7-3 Sharks

    Tino Mavesere's forearm swats aside George Ford and the visitors go off on an attack. A kick is just about dealt with but it gives a good attacking opportunity.

    Sharks have a scrum five metres out.

  9. Sin-bin - Tommy O'Brien

    Leinster 12-0 La Rochelle

    Ireland wing Tommy O'Brien is sent to the sin-bin for a deliberate knock on in the tackle, which stopped a promising La Rochelle attack.

    Ciaran Frawley, who will depart Leinster to join Connacht from next season, has been forced off with an ankle injury and is replaced by Andrew Osborne.

  10. try

    Converted try - Sale 7-3 Sharks

    Rekeiti Ma'asi-White (con George Ford)

    It was coming.

    Short pass and over goes Rekeiti Ma'asi-White.

  11. Sale 0-3 Sharks

    Rob du Preez's try-scoring pass goes forward and we come back for a penalty.

  12. Sale 0-3 Sharks

    George Ford nails a penalty right into the corner. Huge chance now for the hosts.

  13. try

    Converted try - Leinster 12-0 La Rochelle

    Joshua Kenny (con Prendergast)

    What a European debut for Joshua Kenny! Two tries in nine minutes!

    Ihaia West's clearing kick is charged down by Rieko Ioane, and it falls kindly for Kenny who has the pace to race over for his second score of the game.

    Prendergast lands the conversion this time.

  14. Penalty - Sale 0-3 Sharks

    Siya Masuku

    Siya Masuku bangs over a penalty from right in front of the posts.

  15. Sale 0-0 Sharks

    George Ford fires the ball out on the full. A rare error from the England fly-half.

    Sharks go into the hosts' 22.

  16. Sale 0-0 Sharks

    Jacques Vermeulen is off to get a HIA after a nasty head clash. That would be a huge loss given his South African physicality.

  17. try

    Try - Leinster 5-0 La Rochelle

    Joshua Kenny

    Electric.

    Joshua Kenny with a Superman finish in the corner!

    Leinster just cut La Rochelle open with quick hands and the wing leaps over in the corner to open the scoring on his European debut.

    Sam Prendergast's conversion is wide, but it's a flying start from Leinster.

  18. Sale 0-0 Sharks

    An early penalty is tapped by Gus Warr as Sale look to play with tempo. George Ford sends the ball into the sky and it is well dealt with.

    A combination of both styles.

  19. Leinster 0-0 La Rochelle

    Leinster are almost over inside the opening 60 seconds as Tommy O'Brien and Josh van der Flier break away in the opening attack of the game, and Josh Kenny is put into touch five metres out.

    That's some start from the hosts but La Rochelle survive.

  20. Kick-off

    Sale 0-0 Sharks

    Sale look bang up for this. We are under way.
