TIGERS PAY FOR EXTRA OLLIEDAY

OLLIE LAWRENCE handed Leicester head coach Michael Cheika a reality check on life in the Premiership as Bath jumped up to second in the Premiership.

Even with Finn Russell misfiring with the boot, Bath had too much for Leicester with centre Lawrence providing power and skill in midfield.

His best moment came when he stole the ball in his own half and kicked a 50-22, which set up field position for Guy Pepper to score.

Another bonus for England head coach Steve Borthwick was Leicester wing Anthony Watson getting through 68 minutes of action in his first appearance since 23 December.
