    Try - Leinster 15-7 Leicester Tigerspublished at 23 mins

    Jamison Gibson Park

    Jamison Gibson-Park has been unplayable so far.

    He's in for his second try, finishing off after Dan Sheehan found himself in space out wide.

    It was the scrum-half's play in the preceding phases, though, that really caught the eye.

    The Ireland nine has Leinster playing at such a quick tempo.

    Leinster 10-7 Leicester Tigers

    Not for the first time, Leinster's line-out is decidedly scrappy. They'll certainly want to clean up their work out of touch.

    An obvious area of improvement for the Tigers, meanwhile, is their discipline. They've give away four penalties so far.

    Leinster 10-7 Leicester Tigers

    Opening quarter of this one feels like it has flown by.

    A few set-piece transgressions give everyone the opportunity to catch their breath.

    Leicester had a scrum in the Leinster half but gave away the free-kick for an early shove.

    As a former Munster man, perhaps James Cronin can be forgiven for being a little over eager on that one.

    Jamison Gibson-Park (con Ross Byrne)

    What a well worked score from Leinster.

    Attacking off the line-out, they set themselves up with a midfield ruck and, off Dan Sheehan's offload, Joe McCarthy scythes through the line.

    The Ireland lock, enjoying a real break-out season, times his inside pass to Gibson-Park well and Leinster are under the posts.

    Leinster 3-7 Leicester Tigers

    That kick seems to have settled Leinster somewhat.

    Moving the ball better and they'll kick into Leicester territory as the Tigers are pinged for going off their feet.

    Ross Byrne

    Better from Leinster who enjoy their first spell of possession of the game.

    They try to move wide on penalty advantage but nothing comes of it and Ross Byrne opts for a shot at the posts.

    No issues with the kick from the Leinster out-half.

    Handre Pollard (con Handre Pollard)

    What a start from Leicester!

    They make all the early running, putting pressure on Leinster through the set-piece.

    Handre Pollard then picks a lovely line and the South African bursts through the tackle of Jamison Gibson-Park and finishes despite Jamie Osborne's attempts to get underneath the ball.

    Pollard adds the extras to his own score too.

    Leinster 0-0 Leicester Tigers

    A bit of trickery from Leicester at the first line-out. Dan Cole takes a short one at the front and Pollard probes it over the top.

    Leinster look to have it well covered but James Lowe is uncharacteristically wayward with the boot, knocking it out on the full.

    Leinster 0-0 Leicester Tigers

    And we're underway at the Aviva. Handre Pollard knocks the kick-off deep into the Leinster 22.

  10. La Rochelle awaitpublished at 19:49 British Summer Time 6 April

    Leinster v Leicester Tigers (20.00 BST)

    There has been plenty of action already today with La Rochelle securing a huge win away to the Stormers.

    Leinster and Leicester Tigers are wholly familiar with each other too but if the hosts advance tonight they will face the back-to-back champions for a fifth time in four seasons.

    La Rochelle won the big knock-out matches across the last three seasons but Leinster edged the game during this year's pool stages.

    The Tigers will have other ideas, of course.

  11. Team newspublished at 19:35 British Summer Time 6 April

    Leinster v Leicester Tigers (20.00 BST)

    Leinster had a handful of fitness doubts coming into this one but the good news for Leo Cullen's side is that Hugo Keenan, Andrew Porter and Robbie Henshaw have all been cleared to start.

    Ciaran Frawley is fit enough to be on the bench too.

    For Leicester, there are three changes to the side that beat Newcastle last week.

    Dan Cole, Dan Kelly and Jamie Shillcock all come into the starting side, with Freddie Steward switching onto the wing.

  12. Line-upspublished at 19:31 British Summer Time 6 April

    Saracens pump the ball into the corner. One more try in this one?

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con Mateo Garcia)

    The young flyer is in again.

    Bordeaux break clear and give it to Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who takes off down the wing.

    The conversion means that is 100 points over their two games against Saracens.

    Bordeaux 38-5 Saracens

    Saracens win another penalty and send it into the Bordeaux 22. The try they did get was when they went quickly, slowing it down doesn't seem to work.

    Finally!

    Sharp hands and in goes Alex Lewington. He should have had one earlier, but gets one now.
