There was success at the weekend for Leicester Tigers who beat Midlands rivals the Northampton Saints in the LV=Cup final.

With a 26-14 win at Worcester's Sixways Stadium, the Tigers team was largely made up of ‘fringe players’.

With tries from Steve Mafi, named man of the match, and a strong intercept from Scott Hamilton, the Tigers were able to hold off a strong Northampton rally in the second half.
