Leicester Mercury

Leicester arrived at the Parc Y Scarlets having made one change to their squad with Scottish scrum-half Scott Steele replacing Sam Harrison on the bench.

6 min: PENALTY (3-0) After dominating early possession, Scarlets take the lead through fly-half Owen Williams.

11 min: TRY (3-5) On their first serious attack of the game, Tigers turn down a chance to kick for goal and set up a five-metre line-out. George Chuter throws short to Harry Wells and Leicester begin an unstoppable driving maul which sees Thomas Waldrom dive over for the opening try.

14 min: PENALTY (6-5) Williams puts the Scarlets back ahead.

76 min: TRY (35-19) A lovely side-step by Gareth Owen in midfield and he skips through Leicester's midfield to run in untouched. Thomas converts.
