Really brilliant by Sale do far. Incisive in attack and solid in defence. Toulouse seem to be very flat. Huge 40 ahead with first score crucial in second 40 #ChampionsCup

A really brave effort by Ulster. Bordeaux always had something extra but Ulster kept going with subs adding a real impact to the performance. Bordeaux were in cruise control but will be punished against a better team #UBBvULS #ChampionsCup

Bordeaux a cut above Ulster when they decide to turn up the intensity. Ulster showed good heart to score twice but that try on the stroke of halftime is a killer. Away side need first score of second 40 #ChampionsCup
