Henry Pollock gets booed as Bordeaux beat Northampton Saints, while Tom Willis scores for Saracens as they shock his brother Jack and Toulouse.

Leinster leave it late to beat La Rochelle, Bath look set to top their pool and Bristol win yet again, but how many points is too many points? Why is Christian Wade wearing leggings? Why are wingers getting lifted in the lineout? And why are props kicking 50-22s now?
