England flanker Tom Croft scored two tries - his second in injury-time - to overhaul Bath, who had led 22-9.

Fly-half Derick Hougaard kicked 14 points from four penalties and a match-winning conversion, yet Bath will feel aggrieved after outscoring Tigers 3-2 on tries.

Lock Stuart Hooper, hooker Pieter Dixon and wing Joe Maddock all breached Leicester's defence, yet the defeat ruined any chance Bath had of catching league leaders London Irish.

For much of the game, Tigers played as though they were preoccupied by continued speculation about the future of their head coach Heyneke Meyer.

Meyer recently flew home to South Africa because of family illness - but there are suggestions he might not return to the east midlands.

Meyer, who masterminded the Blue Bulls' Super 14 title triumph in 2007 and only became Leicester boss last summer, has handed caretaker coaching duties to his Leicester assistant Richard Cockerill.
