1 day agoWeakened Leicester show why away sides need Champions Cup miracles
Hosts have a strong advantage in Champions Cup matches, with only two losses in 24 games since the single-leg format began.
Leicester Tigers guaranteed themselves a home semi-final in the Prem Rugby Cup by beating Harlequins to top Pool B. The 33-27 victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road opened up a nine-point lead at the top of the table for Leicester, who have never won the competition, with one match left to play for second-placed Northampton Saints. Meanwhile, Exeter Chiefs moved top of Pool A with a convincing win over Bath to seal their own spot in the last four.
