Leicester Tigers have kept their hopes of securing a Premiership home semi-final alive after a 12-6 win at London Irish yesterday.
The Tigers sit in sixth place in the table but they are only four point behind second-placed Bath.
Freddie Burns kicked two penalties and a drop-goal in the first half to put the Tigers 9-3 up as Shane Geraghty slotted one penalty for the Exiles.
The hosts closed the gap through the boot of Geraghty again but seven minutes later Frenchman David Mele kicked what proved to be match-winning penalty for Richard Cockerill’s men.
