Tigers secure impressive win
Related Articles
07 January 2008
Flood touched down the first of four Leicester tries before centre Aaron Mauger, number eight Jordan Crane and winger Matt Smith built on a ferocious scrummaging display to secure maximum spoils at Welford Road.
Perpignan, who lie third in the French Top 14, kept themselves in touch with a breakaway try from centre Maxime Mermoz and an opportunist effort from flanker Ovidiu Tonita. But the Tigers scrum had been in destructive mood all night and the visitors' resistance was broken when Leicester drove them 10 yards back over their own line for Crane to score.
Smith sealed the bonus point with a jinking break down the touchline to complete a third straight Heineken Cup win for the Tigers.
