Leicester Tigers face a nervous wait to see if they progress to the Champions Cup last 16 after a 39-26 defeat to the Stormers in Cape Town. Despite a brave performance from a depleted side, a late Imad Khan try meant the Tigers only secured one bonus point for scoring four tries, leaving their qualification hopes in the balance.

The hosts raced into an early lead before Leicester fought back, with tries from George Pearson, Will Wand, and Jamie Blamire. The match remained tight, with both sides earning try-bonus points. However, a sin-binning for Stormers' Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu didn't prevent the home side from securing the win and their place in the knockout stages.

Leicester now sits fourth in Pool Three and will be eliminated if La Rochelle earn at least one point against Harlequins on Sunday. For the Stormers, victory guarantees a home last-16 tie should La Rochelle win their final pool match. The Tigers' campaign now hinges on results elsewhere in the competition.
