Leicester 31-17 Worcester
Leicester clinched a place in the Aviva Premiership play-offs with a bonus-point win at home to Worcester.
The Tigers bounced back from last week’s European Champions Cup semi-final defeat by Racing 92 to score four tries in a 31-17 win which puts them on 64 points, 10 ahead of fifth placed Sale, with one game left.
Their tries came from through Vereniki Goneva, Opeti Fonua, Telusa Veainu, and Will Evans, with Owen Williams kicking 11 points in a faultless display.
Worcester, who are safe from relegation, scored two tries through Bryce Heem and Andy Symons.
Northampton 15-14 Bath
Teimana Harrison staked his claim for an England call-up as Northampton mounted a superb second-half comeback to edge out Bath 15-14 at Franklin’s Gardens.
The away side looked set to claim their first win at the venue since 2000, as two opportunistic Jeff Williams tries put them 14-0 ahead at the break, but Saints fought back with man-of-the-match Harrison leading the charge.
The number eight scored his side’s first try and, after Stephen Myler added a penalty, Mike Haywood popped up with just eight minutes remaining to register a vital five points.
Myler kept his nerve with the conversion that put his team ahead for the first time, and the final whistle saw Northampton move up to fifth in the Aviva Premiership standings – leapfrogging Sale Sharks and enhancing their chances of securing a place in next season’s Champions Cup.
