An own Try? Leicester Tigers all but scored a try for Saints
- 8403
Leicester Tigers produced what can only be described as a rugby 'own goal' in their loss to the Northampton Saints.
The Tigers took a lineout, 5m from their own line, quickly which resulted into a turnover and ultimately the bonus-point clinching try for Northampton Saints.
“It’s an own goal Lawrence,” said BT Sport commentator Ugo Monye.
"It's an own goal for Leicester!"

The bonus point for @SaintsRugby! They might be a man down but Reinach finds the space and Collins cross with ease. pic.twitter.com/NIub82M71P
The Saints marched on to claim a comprehensive 36-13 victory despite losing Owen Franks, Courtney Lawes and Dan Biggar before kick off.
