Great to see yarde back :)

James O'Connor misses with a chance to narrow the lead. Irish need to stop the rot sooner rather than later.

PENALTY TIGERS. Penalty awarded at scrum time and Williams makes no mistake. 20-9.

Why

Marland Yarde makes his long awaited return to the field!

TRY LEICESTER. Goneva is the man who scores. The bass to him didn't go to hand but he gathered it on the bounce, skipped bast some challeneges and raced into the corner. Williams nailed the touchline conversion. 17-9 the score.

Leicester enjoying the early possession and Owen Williams nearly found winger Blaine Scully with a cross-field kick that would have spelt trouble for the home side.

Owen Williams gets the second-half underway!

Half-time whistle goes and Tigers finish the first forty with all the momentum. A try from Logovi Mulipola followed by the sin-binning of Sheridan will leave the visitors confident enough of pushing on for the win. The first few minutes of the second half will be huge with Irish reduced to fourteen men.

Thanks for the commentary, just about 3am here in NZ, but appreciate the updates - close game!
