All Over! Nigel Owens blows the final whistle and Tigers take victory here in Welford Road by 17 points to 8. That's 3 wins from 3 in the LV cup and they currently top the group. A clinical display of rugby from the hosts, both in attack and defense, quite remarkable considering the relative inexperience of the side. Saints simply not able to penetrate the Tigers defensive line and had to resort to chip over the top to earn their try. Sebastien De Chaves was outstanding today and he is our man of the match. That's all from us here, please tune in again soon for some more live rugby coverage!
