Leicester Tigers Crush Ulster in Champions Cup

Leicester Tigers secured a comfortable victory over Ulster in the Champions Cup, capitalizing on Ulster's second-half errors.

A SECOND-HALF implosion meant Ulster ’s Champions Cup hopes took a significant blow as Leicester Tigers crossed six times in all for an 38-10 win at Welford Row.

Leicester’s errors didn’t end there. A mix-up between Handré Pollard and Ollie Hassell-Collins when dealing with a garryowen led to the cardinal sin of the ball bouncing between them. It took a wicked hop, straight into the arms of Nick Timoney who had no one between him and the line. Ulster hadn’t yet entered the Leicester 22, but they had started their attempted smash and grab.

For all Ulster’s hard work to stay in touch in the first half, the centre couldn’t hold. Within the first 10 minutes of the second 40, Hassell-Collins crossed twice to widen the gap. The first came once again from the forwards sucking in numbers via a rumbling maul, Ulster caught narrow once the ball went wide.
