King Henry Leads Euro Hotshots

Gloucester's Henry Paul is the Heineken Cup top scorer after finishing the competition with 100 points, the only man to reach the century mark.

Paul reached this total in just seven matches, his side being knocked out of the cup at the quarter-final stage when they lost 34-3 to the eventual winners London Wasps.

The top try scoring honour fell to James Simpson-Daniel or Gloucester, and Nicolas Brusque of Biarritz Olympique. Both players scored six tries.

London Wasps outside half Alex King converted 19 tries, putting him top of that list.

Stade Francais' veteran outside half Diego Dominguez scored 21 penalty goals, while The Dragons' Lee Jarvis landed more dropped goals than anyone else in the competition with three.
