Leicester Tigers got their European Rugby Champions Cup campaign off to a flying start with a four-try demolition of French champions Stade Francais.

The Tigers fought back from 8-0 down to get a bonus point 33-20 win in front of a 20,286 crowd at Welford Road.

Leicester completely dominated the match, their tries coming from Vereniki Goneva, Matt Smith, Brendon O’Connor and Ben Youngs, while Owen Williams kicked 10 points.

Although on the defensive for most of the contest, Stade scored three tries through Julien Thomas, Paul Williams and, near the end, Julien Arias.
