  1. All smiles

    Smile if you are back in contention.

  2. La Rochelle 40-7 Leicester

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

  3. try

    Try - La Rochelle 40-7 Leicester

    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.

  4. La Rochelle 35-7 Leicester

    The defending champions are back to their full complement of players. Leicester managed 0 points in that period.

  5. La Rochelle 35-7 Leicester

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

  6. try

    Converted try - La Rochelle 35-7 Leicester

    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.

  7. La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

    La Rochelle are deep inside Leicester's 22, they are playing the double sin-bin perfectly.

    Another penalty and more time wasted...

  8. La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

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

  9. Huge miss

    La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

    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!

  10. Sin-bin - Jonathan Danty (La Rochelle)

    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.

  11. La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

    BOOM!

    Jonathan Danty smashes Handre Pollard!

    It is high and will be checked.

  12. Sin-bin - Will Skelton (La Rochelle)

    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.

  13. La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

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

  14. Replacement - Pollard on

    La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

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

    If anyone can...

  15. try

    Converted try - La Rochelle 28-7 Leicester

    Teddy Thomas (con Antoine Hastoy)

    Job done!

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

  16. La Rochelle 21-7 Leicester

    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...

  17. La Rochelle 21-7 Leicester

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

  18. Kick-off

    La Rochelle 21-7 Leicester

    The second half is under way.

  20. 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.
