LEICESTER’S historic victory over Saracens last week will count for nothing unless they back it up at Worcester today, says No.9 Sam Harrison.
Harrison, who clocked up his 100th appearance in a Tigers jersey and was key to his side’s first ever league win at Allianz Park, is demanding a repeat.
“We had to win last week and coming away with five points from Saracens took a while to sink in, but the main thing now is we back it up,” Harrison told TRP.
“If we can do that all bets are off because we’ll put ourselves right in the top four mix, but if we lose what we did at Saracens will probably be forgotten.”
