"Adam Radwan scored two tries as Leicester Tigers edged closer to The Prem play-off places with a dominant 36-28 win over a one-dimensional Saracens at Mattioli Woods Welford Road. The fifth-placed Tigers quickly built a first-half lead through Freddie Steward and Olly Cracknell, before Theo McFarland replied for the hosts. Further scores from Radwan and Joe Heyes gave Saracens a second-half mountain to climb, before Rhys Carre responded for Mark McCall's men."
"With both teams looking for a win to keep in touch with the top four, it was the Tigers who started strongest. Following impressive carrying from Radwan and first-time starter Sam Williams, Billy Searle delivered a perfectly weighted grubber kick for Steward to dot down. It then looked like the Tigers had grabbed a quick-fire double through Searle, before referee Matthew Carley decided that the fly-half had been tackled just short of the line. But it proved only a temporary respite for the visitors."
