    Cameron Henderson goes so close to scoring but is unable to ground the ball. It will be a Leicester scrum.

    A Prem side is still yet to win in the Champions Cup this weekend.

    Pau 24-10 Leicester

    I hinted before the game that I think Pau will go deep in this competition.

    This performance only reinforces that belief. Proper rugby team.

    Rodrigo Marta (con Axel Desperes)

    Rodrigo Marta shows his pace again.

    The Portugal international is the Top 14's top try-scorer this season, with six tries.

    He was playing in the Pro D2 last season.

    The 26-year-old is certainly known now.

    The ball is dropped. Why not kick for posts?

    Pau 17-10 Leicester

    Leicester opt against kicking for posts. Into the corner it goes.

    A try now would be huge.

    The prop races in. A support line that a scrum-half would be proud of.

    Theo Attissogbe makes the initial break to sprint clear. A cross-field kick is then gathered and Rodrigo Marta is next on hand from an offload to finish brilliantly.

    Some try.
