Quins now sit second in their pool and will seal a home knockout tie with a bonus-point win over La Rochelle next Sunday. Flanker Jack Kenningham, Cadan Murley and Alex Dombrandt all crossed in a dominant first quarter for the hosts. Stormers, who came into the game undefeated this season, opted against playing a large number of their star Springboks. Jason Gilmore's side ended their poor run of form by bagging five first-half tries, with Chandler Cunningham-South and David also getting over.

Harry Byrne's goal-kicking proved the difference as error-strewn Leinster held off a determined Leicester to claim a 23-15 Investec Champions Cup victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road. Each team scored two tries but three penalties and a conversion from Byrne were decisive as the bottom side Leicester's European campaign continued to falter and they remain pointless after their opening two fixtures.

Losing is in danger of becoming a habit for Sale as they came off second-best to a stellar Glasgow side who headed back north with a bonus-point win in this Investec Champions Cup opener. Alex Sanderson's hosts have already lost four games in the Prem and they let slip an early 14-0 lead to a visiting team packed with some of Scotland's finest talent. The Warriors showed their mettle to score four tries and condemn Sale to another bitterly disappointing home loss.
