Leicester Tigers defeat Northampton Saints 28-7

The Leicester Tigers secured a 28-7 victory over rivals the Northampton Saints at Welford Road. Despite trailing 7-3 at halftime in wet and windy conditions, Leicester dominated the second half, scoring four tries to claim their third win in four matches.

Leicester's comeback was fueled by a period of intense physicality following a confrontation involving players near the end of the first half. Key contributions included a long-range penalty from Freddie Steward and a late bonus-point try by Steward in the 72nd minute. The win moves the Tigers into second place in the league standings.
