Champions Cup: La Rochelle 27 Harlequins 17Harlequins defied their abysmal domestic form to knock Ronan O'Gara's La Rochelle out of the Investec Champions Cup at Stade Marcel Deflandre and secure home advantage in the round of 16. Man of the match Smith converted the try and added a late penalty to begin the celebrations, in the process leaving European heavyweights La Rochelle to reflect on their shock group exit from the competition. With the score tied at 17-17 heading into the final 10 minutes, Harlequins kept their nerve to complete a famous win that means they finish Pool Three in second place behind Leinster.
