Leicester 0-3 Ulster
Nice play from Ulster to force a knock on and get inside Leicester territory. Iain Henderson looks sharp with his passing and they are finding gaps but Leicester snuff out any real attack here before eventually winning the ball back. Leicester then cough up a penalty for not releasing.
Doak slots the points.

TRY! Connacht 7-0 Lyon
Connacht have been pinned in their own half for much of this but Cian Prendergast intercepts and passes it off for Ben Murphy who managed to go the full way for the try.
