Have Connacht responded?

Off we go. The game will be played "in honour of" lock Hyron Andrews.

Unbelievable courage and strength from every Lions player. La Rochelle present a jersey as a touching mark of respect.

Following the minute's silence, another round of applause rings around the stadium.

South African side Lions will fulfil today's Champions Cup fixture against La Rochelle "in honour of" lock Hyron Andrews, who died at the team's hotel aged 31 on Friday.

The club said Andrews "was a valued member of the Lions family and his loss will be felt profoundly by his team-mates, coaches, supporters and all who had the privilege of knowing him".

Two more games incoming at 17:30 BST. Stay tuned.

A late try from Leolin Zas adds the cherry on top. The Stormers run out deserved winners.

A late Tommy O'Brien try wraps up an ultimately comprehensive bonus-point win for Leinster at Stade Marcel-Michelin.

Clermont led 16-15 at half-time but Leinster's power and big-game experience told during a dominant second-half display.

In addition to O'Brien, Tadhg Furlong, Dan Sheehan (2), Sam Prendergast and Jack Conan crossed for Leinster, who were also awarded a penalty try.

Prendergast starred again at out-half after impressing in last week's URC win over Cardiff.

Damian Willemse will not want to see that again. It looked a certain try, but he drops a simple pass. We come back for a penalty to the Stormers.

Bristol have never really looked in control of this game, but heading into the final 10 minutes, they're not entirely out of it either.

Another two tries in what has turned into a fairly high-scoring game. After Mathys Belaubre's score for Clermont, Jack Conan - who has been impressive today - crosses for Leinster's sixth.

The result is beyond doubt now with just over 10 minutes left.

We're into the final quarter. Under the new bonus-point rules, the Stormers need another try to earn a bonus point for scoring three more tries than Bristol.

Leinster are starting to pull away now. After a penalty try was awarded following a series of Clermont indiscretions, Dan Sheehan runs in for his second try of the game.

The Irish side have five tries to one so are on course for an opening bonus-point win in France.
