Second half action is underway at Sixways.
Half-time: Worcester lead 15-13.
Half-time: Worcester 15 Tigers 12 - Tigers blow a 5m line out in the final minute of the half and Warriors go in at the break with the advantage.
Not sure this will be the case in Japan but great to see @LeicesterTigers George Ford leading England. Shining light in a ropey 2018-19 season for Tigers leicestermercury.co.uk/sport…
Ford captains England

Ford, Ellis Genge, Dan Cole and Ben Youngs feature - but Manu Tuilagi and Jonny May sit out World Cup warm-up

So sad to learn about the passing of former @lancscricket skipper Jack Bond, a hugely inspirational captain of a wonderful side.🏏🌹

'Tigers have fallen behind the pace-setters and will find it difficult to catch up without an influx of cash' Our opinion on Tigers' sale. leicestermercury.co.uk/sport…
Tigers sale can be huge success – look what happened to City

Tigers are on the market and the right buyers can put them back among the big-hitters at home and in Europe

38mins: Lahiff yellow carded for playing Sam Harrison off the ball. Tigers penalty in front of the posts and Ford makes it 26-12.
29mins: Tigers penalty 30m out Bath not rolling away. Ford makes it 23-12.
Expect a huge roar when Matt Smith runs out for his final @LeicesterTigers match.
Success in China for @Lucygarner94 and @Hitec_Products ; all good wishes to @graceygarner with her fitness fight after injury in the Far East 🇨🇳🚴‍♀️💪 leicestermercury.co.uk/sport…

RIP Billy McNeill. A footballing giant.

80mins: Tigers concede a penalty on their line with 10 seconds left.
36mins: Goneva beats wafer thin defence on the blindside deep in his own half. Takalua is in support to score but misses the kick. Tigers lead 13-12 but how quickly the game can change when you miss tackles.

Really sad news that Tommy Smith, the 'Anfield Iron', has passed away. A great clubman and the toughest of competitors from a different era of the game. RIP.

41mins: Tigers don't release the ball; easy penalty for Simmonds and it's 20-31. Not what was called for at the start of the half.
Ah. A penalty was awarded against Tigers and Simmonds' restart outs them 10m out.
