Leicester now building the phases in the Falcons' half

The Tigers have certainly come out with more urgency this half with the forwards really putting themselves about the place in these early encounters especially at scrum time

Penalty Leicester: Williams hits a huge effort from just inside his own half to further extend Leicester's lead as the kick has more than enough on it to sail through the posts. A fine penalty from the Leicester 10

Newcastle concede another penalty at the scrum. Leicester opt for the posts from the halfway line

Penalty Leicester: Newcastle are penalized for not releasing the ball on the ground. Williams makes no mistake with the kick and puts his side four points up. Good start from the Tigers

Owen Williams gets the game back underway for the second half

Try Leicester: Goneva shows strength and pace to beat two defenders, chip through and get his fingertips to the ball and ground it for a superb individual try from the Leicester winger. Williams is unable to add the conversion. Leicester lead by 1 going into the half

The referee is confirming with the TMO on a grounding for Leicester winger Goneva

Penalty Newcastle: Godman slots the effort from out on the left to recapture a four point lead with only a few minutes left in the half.

The referee is reviewing an incident with the touch judge. Mulipola is adjudged to have put in a late tackle on Falcons Winger Lee Smith. Just a penalty no card needed. Godman opts for the posts
