Leicester Tigers saw their hopes of an opening win in the European Cup blown away by a flurry of second half tries by impressive Bordeaux Begles.

Come Joussain, the only French player in the English Premiership, marked his Leicester debut in style when he crashed over for the Tigers' third try to see them lead 21-14 at the break.
