Tigers keep Cup hopes alive
Related Articles
09 January 2007
Tigers fly-half Andy Goode slotted three penalties, but his tactical authority on a miserable east midlands afternoon kept Leicester on course.
All Blacks World Cup centre Aaron Mauger experienced a muted introduction to Leicester colours - he was substituted 20 minutes from time - yet Tigers did just enough, courtesy of wing Ollie Smith's 12th-minute try and an influential display by number eight Jordan Crane.
Toulouse fly-half Valentin Courrent booted two penalties and dropped a goal, while the three-time European champions arguably created more clear-cut chances.
Leicester, though, stayed in Pool Six contention ahead of next weekend's return fixture at Stade Ernest Wallon.
The Tigers forwards, well-marshalled by captain Martin Corry, relished a ferocious battle up front; yet Toulouse's losing bonus point kept them top of the pool and means Leicester still have it all to do.
