Leicester 10-29 LeinsterLast year’s runners-up Leinster qualify unbeaten and top Pool 4
Leicester’s place in the knockout stages of the Champions Cup remains uncertain after the Ireland winger James Lowe inspired Leinster to a dogged victory that underlined his side’s title credentials. Lowe was the standout performer for Leinster who on paper were packed with star quality and on the pitch showed enough of it to deny Leicester the losing bonus point they needed.
The Tigers can still make the last 16 but will have to wait on other results this weekend to be sure. They can hardly argue, as for all their industry Tigers were considerably short on imagination and Leinster had only to occasionally move through the gears to claim victory over Leicester for the third season in a row.
