    Leicester have played well, they have been very accurate and their defence has been superb.

    There is no messing about, pure aggression, tuck it up your jumper, brilliant. Today they are playing like a proper team, they have turned up and are playing together, just what you want.

    Schoolboy stuff from Bordeaux, having just levelled the score.

    They have possession in the ruck but the ball pops out and it allows Leicester to swarm onto it.

    Tigers ball.

    Guido Petti (con Matthieu Jalibert)

    One off the training paddock.

    Bordeaux go short in the line-out and Guido Petti has enough time and space to be able to spin and power over the line.

    The home crowd liked that one and Matthieu Jalibert adds the extras to level the game.

    A first glimpse of Louis Bielle-Biarrey in open space under the red scrum cap.

    The full-back cuts inside but meets a heavy shoulder and is hauled down.

    Solid defence from Tigers.

    Bordeaux go through the hands out wide before the final pass is forward under pressure from the Tigers defence.

    A chance for the visitors to relieve the pressure.

    Time for a reset in the scrum.

    Bordeaux have the put-in inside the Tigers 22 but the first attempt collapses.

    As they did after conceding the opening try, Bordeaux are straight back on the front foot in response.

    Leicester continue to stand firm for now.

    Josh Bassett (con Jamie Shillcock)

    Clever finish.

    Leicester move the ball well through the hands and Freddie Steward makes a slight break.

    The ball is recycled and moved wide before the final pop pass to Josh Bassett, who dots it down in the corner with little room for manoeuvre.

    Jamie Shillcock adds the conversion.

    It's some start to this game as Leicester are nearly in again.

    The white shirts pound into the Bordeaux defence, but Hanro Liebenberg loses control of the ball. Let off for the hosts.

    That is devastating. Wells the try-scorer coughed up the ball, and the speed this team shift from defence to attack is unbelievable. Cheika will be tearing his hair out, that is a coach-killer.

    Pete Samu (con Matthieu Jalibert)

    Instant reply from the hosts.

    Bordeaux move the ball through the hands and Pete Samu glides through a gap in the Leicester defence to score.

    Michael Chieka will not be happy with how easy that was.

    Matthieu Jalibert kicks the conversion.

    Jamie Shillcock and Josh Bassett not quite in sync there as the fly-half throws an inside pass which the wing spills forward.

    But we'll come back for the penalty and Shillcock will kick for touch.
