Leicester Tigers secured a 22-16 away win over Bristol Bears to move to the top of the Premiership table on 30 October 2026.
Tries from Freddie Steward, Adam Radwan, Ollie Hassell-Collins and Jamie Blamire gave Leicester a bonus-point victory, while Louis Rees-Zammit scored a brilliant solo try for Bristol. Billy Searle missed three conversions, and James Williams kicked three penalties for the hosts.
Bristol were reduced to 13 men for a period after Matias Moroni and Tom Jordan were sin-binned for high tackles, allowing Leicester to capitalize. Despite a late penalty from Williams making it a six-point game, Leicester held on.
Leicester head coach Geoff Parling praised his side's gritty win, while Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam rued missed opportunities and the impact of the yellow cards.
The win sees Leicester leapfrog Gloucester at the summit ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures.
