• Tigers could be bottom if they lose to Newcastle next weekend
Leicester are English rugby’s most successful club in terms of honours, having won 20 major titles, but they could find themselves bottom of the Premiership at the end of next weekend with three rounds to go after a season of unwanted records.
The 52 points they conceded to the leaders, Exeter, at Welford Road on Saturday was their highest in the Premiership era in a record 12th league defeat of the campaign. Leicester will lose more matches than they win for the first time and are on course for an unprecedented bottom-half finish.
