Myler’s fourth penalty of the afternoon seven minutes from time put Northampton back in front. Owen Williams, a second-half replacement for the concussed Burns, regained the lead for Leicester four minutes from time with a penalty that punished Luther Burrell’s deliberate knock-on. It was the fourth time in the half that the lead had changed hands and Leicester needed a cushion. After the victory the Leicester captain, Tom Youngs, addressed his players and Mauger. Leicester Veainu; Thompstone, Tait, Mermoz (Roberts 69), Pietersen; Burns (O Williams ht), B Youngs; Genge, T Youngs (capt; McGuigan 59), Cole, Barrow, Kitchener (M Williams 64), Fitzgerald, O’Connor (McCaffrey ht), Hamilton.
