Perhaps not redemption for Leicester – Leone Nakarawa’s quite sublime skills put paid to that – but a step on the road nonetheless. On such fine margins are matches at this level decided but it would have been horribly unfair had Nakarawa ended up on the losing side. A George Ford penalty put Leicester back in front but Nakarawa was at it again soon after, offloading to Wenceslas Lauret before Bernard Le Roux pounced from close range. Johnston, who tips the scales at more than 21 stone, had other ideas, throwing himself at the Tigers centre and dislodging the ball. At one point he was surrounded by what must have been four Leicester tacklers yet still he got the offload away.
