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

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

Lawrence's best moment came when he stole the ball in his own half and kicked a 50-22, which set up field position for Bath's third score from Guy Pepper.

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

But Lawrence, 25, was the star of the show and proved the benefit of getting extra time off from Bath in the summer.
