LA Rochelle head coach Ronan O’Gara wasn’t happy with his side’s performance. He said: “When they went down to 14, we became involved in an arm-wrestle when we had opportunities to rip them apart but we weren’t ruthless enough.
“We weren’t on song but there is huge growth in this side especially with the power of Jonathan Danty and
Will Skelton returning. This is a really special competition and I think we can expect some decent games in the knock-out stages.”
