Week Two of the 2012-13 Heineken Cup again witnessed some high scoring, particularly at Biarritz and Exeter. Down in Devon, the home side were ahead 12-10 at half time, but conceded 36 points to Clermont Auvergne after the break, including five tries for a final score of 12-46.

In atrocious conditions, Biarritz sloshed their way to a 38-17 win against Italian new boys Zebre. Saracens played a home game in Brussels against Racing Metro, winning 30-13 but not collecting a try bonus point.

Leinster were always in control at the Parc y Scarlets, winning 20-13 - just one try apiece there. Quins won 30-22 at Cannacht, with Danny Care scoring two tries and Ben Botica slotting over six penalties and a conversion.

Toulouse were beind at Treviso, but eventually won 33-21. There were two games on Friday night, Glasgow going down 8-19 before a big crowd at Scotstoun, whilst Northampton Saints proved that there are no easy games in France, losing 26-21 to Castres.

Sale Sharks were one of eight teams playing on Sunday.They came up against a Montpellier side reinforced by eleven changes, let three tries paast them in a ten minute spell, but otherwise played with honour in a 33-18 defeat. At Cardiff, Jonny Wilkinson's Toulon, the Sharks' next Heineken opponents, beat the Blues 22-14.

Leicester Tigers left it late, but secured a bonus point against the Ospreys with a 39-22 win, whilst over the Irish Sea, Munster beat Edinburgh 33-0. Last season's semi finalists haven't score a point in two matches.
