    Bordeaux Begles 14-3 Saracens

    Sean Maitland tells the referee "he jumped so early" after he takes out Damian Penaud in the air. The hang time from Penaud was insane. The magic spray is out for that nasty landing however.

    Romain Buros (con Matthieu Jalibert)

    A beauty!

    Romain Buros accelerates onto an inside pass from Matthieu Jalibert and he is off under the posts.

    Some pace in that back three.

    Bordeaux are dominating the early exchanges before Ben Earl sends a great kick down the field. He is making up for that dropped ball.

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con Matthieu Jalibert)

    Super finish.

    The France wing gets a one v one against Ivan van Zyl and he goes past him in a flash.

    Proper wing play.

    Oh no!

    Ben Earl drops the restart, he would catch 99/100 of those. Huge chance for Bordeaux to respond.

    Saracens win an early penalty and unsurprisingly Owen Farrell wants a shot at goal.

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey takes off down the wing but his kick is too long. Another one to keep an eye on.

    Dan Kelly

    Magic indeed!

    Dan Kelly chips the ball over the top before regathering. Lovely bit of skill but there are no bonus points for style.

    UJ Seuteni

    Gregory Alldritt was meant to be on a break after the World Cup. But Ronan O'Gara needed his captain to save their campaign.

    He avoids a couple of tackles before passing it out to UJ Seuteni. World-class from the number eight.
