In a gripping Gallagher Premiership encounter, Aaron Wainwright scored his first try for Leicester Tigers, leading them to a 38-31 victory over Gloucester at Mattioli Woods Welford Road. The match, attended by Prince Harry, witnessed a remarkable comeback from the Tigers after trailing 14-0 early on.

The game started with Leicester on the back foot, as fly-half Billy Searle received a yellow card just three minutes in for a deliberate knock-on. The Cherry and Whites capitalized on their one-man advantage, with Jac Morgan scoring the first try following a series of forward drives. Dian Bleuler soon added a second try, putting Gloucester in control.

However, Leicester began to turn the tide:

• Finn Carnduff got the Tigers on the scoreboard with a close-range effort.
• Joe Heyes powered over to level the match at 14-14.
• Jamie Blamire then scored off a driving maul, giving Leicester a 21-14 lead at halftime.

The Tigers continued their dominance in the second half, with Searle kicking a penalty and Wainwright securing the bonus point with a try from inches out. Gloucester's night worsened as Thomas was sin-binned just after Wainwright's score.

Despite a late fightback, highlighted by Will Trenholm's try, Leicester sealed the win with Ollie Hassell-Collins scoring the first back try of the match. Jack Innard added a late try for Gloucester, but it wasn't enough as Leicester claimed their second consecutive win, while Gloucester suffered their first league loss of the season.
