Leinster displayed why they are one of the pre-tournament favourites following a dominant 35-14 victory over Montpellier at the GGL Stadium.
Their win erased the memory of the quarter-final defeat to Saracens at the end of last season and set them on the way for an assault on a fifth title.
The Irish province took their seven-match unbeaten record in the PRO14 into their latest European campaign and selected Irish stars Johnny Sexton and James Ryan on the bench. Sexton pulled out of the game at the last minute and was replaced by Harry Bryne, younger brother of starting number 10 Ross.
