CHEIKA ROCKET LIGHTS 'EM UP!

MICHAEL CHEIKA'S halftime rocket breathed fire into Leicester as they turned this game on its head.

Tigers were toothless in the first 40 minutes as Gloucester scored three tries and headed to the sheds 19-8 up.

The Leicester boss was furious with the complacent way his side started the match and ripped into them in the dressing room to spark the revival.

Handre Pollard got the ball rolling after the break with a neat score off a tap penalty, part of his 14-point haul, and Leicester got home despite a first Premiership hat-trick from Gloucester centre Max Llewellyn.

And Cheika warned his side the half-time volleys will only get louder if they are as slow out of the blocks in future.
