Leicester battle back to beat Gloucester

Leicester Tigers recover from a disastrous start to battle back and beat Gloucester for their first home win of the season.

Joe Heyes went over in the first half as the home side recovered from a slow start

Tries: Carnduff, Heyes, Blamire, Wainwright, Hassell-Collins Cons: Searle 5 Pens: Searle.

Tries: Morgan, Bleuler, Trenholm, Innard Cons: Englefield 2, Barton 2 Pens: Barton

Jac Morgan and Dian Bleuler both touched down for the Cherry and Whites when Tigers had Billy Searle in the sin-bin early on, but the hosts hit back with tries from Finn Carnduff, Joe Heyes and Jamie Blamire to lead 21-14 at the break.

Aaron Wainwright and Ollie Hassell-Collins scores either side of a Will Trenholm try for Gloucester proved enough to earn Tigers a hard-earned win.

And while beaten for the first time this season, Gloucester ensured they remain top of the Prem after earning two late bonus points after Jack Innard went over and George Barton landed a 82nd minute penalty in a game watched by the Duke of Sussex.
