Be honest, who doubted La Rochelle? The defending champions are VERY much still alive in Europe.

Teddy Thomas
WOW...
It is a poor kick from Leicester and La Rochelle punish them by going the full length of the field.
Teddy Thomas at his very best, gliding through everyone it seemed.

In what many are calling 'the pool of death' every single point will matter. La Rochelle look hungry for more...

Joel Sclavi (con Antoine Hastoy)
It it wasn't over, then it is now!
The prop powers his way over as La Rochelle keep it tight. They only have 13 players remember.

La Rochelle are deep inside Leicester's 22, they are playing the double sin-bin perfectly.
Another penalty and more time wasted...

Mike Brown is next to make a bad error as he drops an easy catch. Minutes are fading away in the sin-bin.

Handre Pollard tried to get the penalty right into the corner and he puts too much on it.
With two extra players you can't afford to do that!
Sin-bin - Jonathan Danty (La Rochelle)published at 52 mins
La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester
The original contact hits Handre Pollard's shoulder. Probably a fair call but Jonathan Danty came off worse as he is helped off.
I doubt he will return.

BOOM!
Jonathan Danty smashes Handre Pollard!
It is high and will be checked.
Sin-bin - Will Skelton (La Rochelle)published at 51 mins
La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester
The big lock is off for 10 minutes. If Leicester were to pick someone to get carded then Will Skelton would be up there.

The Tigers win a scrum penalty and opt for the corner. A quick response wouldn't go a miss.

World Cup winner Handre Pollard is now on for Leicester. Could he produce the miracle comeback?
If anyone can...

Job done!
Simple hands and in goes Teddy Thomas. I don't think they will slow down though...

Another penalty in front of the posts and La Rochelle go for the scrum. It feels like a matter of time before the all-important fourth score...

La Rochelle win a scrum penalty and the ball is punted into the corner. They want the bonus point.

HT: La Rochelle 21-7 Leicester
Thanks Tim.
Well, La Rochelle needed to win this one. So far so good for the defending champions!
As it stands they are into the knockouts...
But Sale next weekend will want to change that narrative.
