Leicester Tigers battered Sale Sharks 47-33 to book their place in the Premiership play-offs, following a dominant week that saw them demolish local rivals Northampton Saints. Will Wand broke through early, and Hassell-Collins fed Chessum for the opening try within two minutes. Joe Heyes capped the first half with a score on his 100th club appearance, adding a vital try bonus point that kept Leicester in control.

Sale Sharks fought back with tries from Joe Carpenter and Roebuck, while Raffi Quirke and Vermeulen added late first-half scores after Leicester were penalised on a scrum. Blamire restored the lead with a maul try, and Moro extended the advantage to 16 points before Sale clawed back through Vermeulen's unlikely effort. Heyes then sealed the bonus point just before half-time, exposing Sale's porous red zone defence once more.

The result secures Leicester's Prem play-off place after back-to-back convincing victories. With seven tries scored, their attacking depth looks sharp heading into the knockout phase, while Sale's inconsistency leaves them far from the top of the table.
