Josh Manz crossed the line two minutes from time for Leicester before Orlando Bailey converted from the touchline to clinch victory at the StoneX Stadium.<\/p>\n
Earlier on, Alex Lozowski’s opener put Sarries in control after 10 minutes when he collected Louie Johnston’s searching kick and surge over the line before Johnston converted.<\/p>\n
Tommy Reffell responded almost immediately for the Tigers, breaking away from the maul to score and Bailey converted to level.<\/p>\n
But celebrations were short lived as Tayo Adegbemile bulldozed his way over to put Sarries back ahead, before Rotimi Segun added a third score.<\/p>\n
Reffell scored his second try of the match to reduce the arrears and make it 21-12, but the conversion was missed.<\/p>\n
Finn Theobald-Thomas cut the gap to just four points after half-time, but a number of blows were still to be traded. Ollie Allan scored before ex-Sarries man Tom Whiteley kicked Leicester into a 24-21 lead.<\/p>\n
Segun’s second put Sarries ahead but the final twist came when crossed following a maul to secure a dramatic win at the death.<\/p>\n
Bath sealed their win over Bristol Bears thanks to three second half tries from Charlie Griffin and Arthur Green.<\/p>\n
Bristol saw three tries, from Max Pepper, Gabriel Ibitoye and Harry Rendell all converted by Sam Worseley, who also added a penalty.<\/p>\n
But it wasn’t enough to contain the hosts, who stepped up having trailed 17-14 at the break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Manz crossed the line two minutes from time for Leicester before Orlando Bailey converted from the touchline…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":425918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-425917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
