LEICESTER TIGERS KEPT their Aviva Premiership play-off hopes on track today with a 21-26 win over Wasps in front of a crowd of 32,019 at the Ricoh Arena.
But they did so despite playing the majority of the game with 14 men, after Fijian centre Seremaia Bai was sent off late in the first-half.
Bai hurled himself into a ruck and collided with Wasps’ Nathan Hughes, who’ll need a good supply of paracetamol to deal with the headaches that are likely to follow.
