A fall for French clubs: Montpellier, struggling in the Top 14, did not experience a miracle for its debut in the European Cup, losing heavily at home against Leinster (14-35) on Saturday.

By crossing the line 5 times, the province of Dublin achieves enhanced success and takes the lead in Pool A ahead of Toulon, the Scarlets and Bordeaux-Bègles, other winners of the weekend.

The MHR, who scored only one try at the very end of the match by winger Gabriel Ngandebe, is already almost eliminated after this setback at home and zero points.

The Hérault people must indeed beat the Wasps twice, finalists in the English Championship, and win in Dublin to reach the quarter-finals in this formula which does not allow any misstep.
