Leicester romped to a seven-try win – Telusa Veainu scoring a hat-trick and Jonny May two – but for all their fireworks out wide, Genge was the standout performer in a victory that ignites the team’s European campaign. Indeed, after he limped off midway through the second half, Castres rallied with three tries – all by David Smith – to pinch an unlikely bonus point. The first try began in Leicester’s half with Genge bullocking into anyone willing to stand in his way. May gathered and scored his eighth Tigers try in as many matches – met with a nod of approval from Eddie Jones on the big screen, perhaps more for Genge’s input that May’s. May streaked under the posts for his second try a couple of minutes into the second half and Veainu had his hat-trick when finishing off a move started with Ford’s dart up the middle and delightful long pass to Kalamafoni.
