Leicester Tigers secured a convincing 36-19 victory over Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate. The match kicked off with an early try from Radwan, setting the tone for the visitors.

In the second half, Bristol's Ravouvou and Randall managed to narrow the gap, but the Tigers' Steward and Henderson added further tries to solidify their lead.
