Kini Murimurivalu extended Leicester’s commanding lead with a try on the hour, but Andrei Gorin scored for Bayonne with just over 10 minutes remaining and left Leicester having to hang on for victory.

Matias Moroni and Zack Henry gave Leicester a 13-point lead at the break, but Connacht responded through Eoghan Masterson and Alex Wootton.

The powerful Leicester scrum proved the difference between the two sides on the night, though, as Clare scored a second try from a driving maul, before Harry Wells and Jasper Wiese put the result beyond doubt.
