European Rugby Champions Cup : Saracens run in Six tries but Leinster fall to Toulon

After an 18th minute penalty try, Alex Goode, Chris Wyles, Maro Itoje, Richard Wigglesworth and Shalke Brits all crossed the whitewash, with 13 points coming through the boot of Owen Farrell.
 
Oyonnax got a late consolation score through Arthur Aziza either side of the tries from Wigglesworth and Brits.
In Pool Five, Leinster fell to Toulon 24-9 thanks to two tries from exiled Englishman Steffon Armitage.

The former European player of the year scored in the tenth and 79th minute as scrum-half Eric Escande kicked 14 points from the tee.

In response, Leinster and Lions fly-half Johnny Sexton scored a hat-trick of penalties, including two inside the opening five minutes.

In the other game in Pool Five, Bath scored a last-gasp try to seal a dramatic 25-23 win over Wasps at the Ricoh.
Bath found themselves 15-3 up after tries from England duo Jonathan Joseph and Matt Banahan, with George Ford adding the remaining points with the boot.
However, Wasps hit back as Ruaridh Jackson and Elliot Daly kicked 12 and three points before full-back Rob Miller crossed the line.

And they looked to be heading for a third win in three when they were 23-18 up with the clock turned red.
However, after Bath pressure led to two Wasps men sent to the bin, winger Anthony Watson touched down to level the scores before George Ford converted to break seal a memorable win.
