Head to Head

Leicester Tigers delivered a commanding performance against the Sharks, winning 56-17 at Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium. Julian Montoya was a standout, scoring two tries early in the match, while Handre Pollard contributed significantly with five conversions and a try. The Tigers quickly built a strong lead, with Ollie Hassell-Collins and Solomone Kata also crossing the line before halftime. The Sharks responded with a try from Emmanuel Tshituka, but they struggled to contain Leicester's relentless attack. In the second half, Jack van Poortvliet added another try, followed by a yellow card for Sharks' Ntuthuko Mchunu. Leicester capitalized on this advantage, with further tries from Charlie Clare and Emeka Ilione, both converted by Jamie Shillcock. The Sharks managed a late consolation try from Ethan Hooker, but it was merely a footnote in a dominant display by the home side.
