    It looks like the Gloucester full-back has stunned La Rochelle, but they are checking for an infringement...

    Try - Freddie Clarkepublished at 35 mins

    La Rochelle 15-15 Gloucester

    A brilliant move ends with a magnificent finish from the lock in the corner!

    Gloucester race down the left flank before spreading it to the right, and a missed pass gives Freddie Clarke the chance to fly into the air and just about touch it down before taking out the corner flag.

    You would never, ever see second rows do that when I was growing up!

    Both sides take turns to go sideways in the backs thanks to good defence that doesn't allow much forward momentum.

    Still only five points in it, but it feels like the hosts are firmly in control.

    Ulster respond with a try against Leinster.

    Two in two minutes!

    Pierre Bougarit's backhanded flick sets up a chance for Teddy Thomas out on the right touchline. He kicks ahead and is then smart enough to collect the rebound when a Gloucester player can't control it.

    La Rochelle beginning to purr now.

    La Rochelle 0-0 Gloucester

    Gloucester are in the pink, quite literally, while the hosts are in yellow. Great for those of us who struggle when shirt colours are similar.

    It's a full-on first minute as Gloucester soak up early pressure around their 22. Eventually Billy Twelvetrees hoofs a penalty into the stands.
