Too easy.

The Tigers are being cut to shreds, but it’s not like they are doing much wrong. Leicester just do not have any answers, Bordeaux are on another level.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con Matthieu Jalibert)
It's raining tries at the start of the second half.
Bordeaux have cut loose and each pass is going to hand. They make the break out wide before the ball is fed back inside for Louis Bielle-Biarrey to run clear.
No one is stopping him from there and Matthieu Jalibert bangs over another conversion.

Former England and Leicester wing on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
They got a bit of luck, but they have such awareness and class and they are so ruthless in that attacking third.
Pete Samu (con Matthieu Jalibert)
Two tries in two minutes and Bordeaux have the bonus in the bag.
The hosts batter the Leicester defence before Matthieu Jalibert goes wide with the boot for Pete Samu to stroll onto and double his tally.
Jalibert adds the extras from the tee and Bordeaux have turned this game on its head.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con Matthieu Jalibert)
Against the run of play.
Leicester go through the gears but spill the ball forward and Bordeaux hack it clear.
With Tigers all up in support of their attack, no one is at home and Louis Bielle-Biarrey sprints after it to claim and score.
Matthieu Jalibert adds the conversion and we are all square again.
Bordeaux Begles 14-21 Leicester Tigers
Leicester start on the front foot but Jack van Poortvliet is loose with an attempted pass off the deck and Bordeaux fire it back down the other end.
Here come Tigers again.

Here we go then, both sets of players have returned to the field so let's get ready for the second half in Bordeaux...
Toulouse v Ulster (15:15 GMT)
Andy Gray
BBC Sport NI in Toulouse
While the current form book points very much to a home victory today, history suggests this could be closer than people think.
Ulster have faced Toulouse on 13 occasions, sharing six wins each and a draw.
The sides last faced off in January, when Toulouse all but ended Ulster's hopes of reaching the knockout stages with a Dupont-inspired 48-24 win in Belfast.
If you want more optimistic reading, Ulster won the last time they played at the Stade Ernest-Wallon as Robert Baloucoune scored a hat-trick in 2022.

It's all about Leicester for now but up next, champions Toulouse begin the defence of their title against Ulster, so let's have some build-up to that one...
