Premiership: emozioni e cartellini rossi, ma alla fine i Tigers battono i Saints

Sale che va a vincere di un nulla a Bath, Exeter che supera Worchester, ma gli occhi di tutta l’Inghilterra erano per Leicester Tigers-Northampton Saints. E la partita non ha deluso: hanno vinto i Tigers 30-25 in una sfida giocata quasi interamente in 14 contro 14 per le espulsioni al minuto 13 di Alesana Tuilagi e Tom Wood. Leicester con la vittoria sui Saints porta a sette le sue vittorie consecutive, Heineken Cup compresa.
Domani tocca a Saracens-London Irish e soprattutto a Wasps-Harlequins.
