Graham Kitchener steals at the line out and Tigers have possession once again however a side entry gives Irish another penalty and Geraghty finds touch inside the Leicester 22.

Tigers not releasing and its a let off for Irish. Geraghty finds a good touch as Cross returns to the action.

Come on!!

London Irish on the attack early on but good work at the breakdown from Tigers leads to a turn over and Mele exploits open space in behind the Irish line with a good territorial kick. Tigers reclaim at the line out and go in search of the games first try.

Come on tigers we need tries!!!

The newly introduced David Mele kicks off!

Half time- Tigers controlling things at the break. Burns using the kicking game well to put Irish under huge pressure and pin them back in their 22. The high ball is causing problems for both sides in the swirling rain. Tigers definitely dominating up front and have taken advantage of the Exiles' weakness in the scrum. More updates to come so stay with us for the second half.

Steele kicks deep into Leicester territory but the kick is over cooked and goes dead. Scrum Tigers at halfway and once again Irish are pinged.

Geoff Cross is shown yellow for his continuous collapsing of the scrum. Burns fails to capitalise from the tee.

Irish looking threatening in attack but Lewington can't hold onto the slippery ball and spills forward.
