But that only lasted one day, because on Sunday:
Quote:
Leicester Tigers returned to the top of the Guinness Premiership with a narrow 14-9 victory over bottom-placed Leeds at Headingley on Sunday.
The result took the Tigers above Saracens and Northampton, but they rarely had it their own way against a dogged Leeds side. Flanker Craig Newby scored the only try of the game but was involved in a fierce battle at the breakdown with former team-mate Marco Wentzel and England Saxons cap Hendre Fourie.
Ceiron Thomas kicked all of Leeds' points to gain a losing bonus-point and close the gap on Worcester to five, but his efforts were matched by Jeremy Staunton, whose three penalties helped secure the spoils.
