## Summary

Leicester Tigers beat Bristol Bears 22-16 away from home to claim a bonus-point win and move top of the Premiership before the weekend’s remaining matches. The result matters because Leicester leapfrogged Gloucester, who were due to face Northampton on Saturday.

Louis Rees-Zammit opened the scoring for Bristol, but Freddie Steward and Adam Radwan put Leicester ahead before half-time, and Ollie Hassell-Collins added a third try after the break. Jamie Blamire’s try from a driving maul secured Leicester’s bonus point; three missed conversions left them with a narrower lead, while James Williams kicked three penalties for Bristol, who earned a losing bonus point.
