  7. La Rochelle 7-0 Leicester

    Twinkle toes from La Rochelle as Jonathan Danty, Dilleyn Leyds and Brice Dulin all use their feet nicely to put Mike Brown under pressure in his own 22, but he's able to clear.

    La Rochelle very much in the ascendent at the moment.

    Antoine Hastoy lands the conversion with ease.

  17. La Rochelle 0-0 Leicester

    The first good chance of the game comes for the home side as they turn it over on the left, then spin it wide but the final pass is a touch wild and centre Seuteni can only fingertip it into touch.
