- Leicester 16-14 Harlequins
- Tigers clinch ninth win in row to stretch Premiership lead
Leicester will turn their attentions to Europe buoyed by claiming the scalp of the Premiership champions to continue their 100% winning start to the season and further establish themselves as England’s leading lights at present.
It was not particularly pretty but defensive reliance and a cool head from their ringmaster George Ford were enough to edge past Harlequins and claim a ninth consecutive win – a run of form which will have their continental rivals taking note.
