Bordeaux replied with a try on the stroke of half-time, when Leicester were down to 14. Quick Guide European rugby roundup Show Gruff Rees hailed a “remarkable effort” from his hastily assembled Cardiff team after a 39-7 defeat against the Champions Cup holders, Toulouse. After the second lineout, Ford put in a cross-kick, which resulted in a yellow for the chasing Hosea Saumaki. At the scrum, Thierry Paiva bored across, allowing Ford to redeem himself with a penalty to draw Leicester level. A routine carry by Ellis Genge coaxed a penalty from Douglas, and Ford stepped up from more than 40 metres out to land the winning penalty.
