Wales back-rower Aaron Wainwright scored his first try for Leicester Tigers as they defeated Gloucester 38-31 in a forward-dominated contest at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, watched by Prince Harry.
The hosts trailed 14-0 after 10 minutes but scored 31 unanswered points for their second straight win. Gloucester suffered their first league loss of the season, with eight of nine tries scored by forwards.
Leicester fly-half Billy Searle was sin-binned early, allowing Gloucester to score twice quickly through Jac Morgan and Dian Bleuler. The turnaround began when Finn Carnduff scored for Leicester, followed by Joe Heyes and Jamie Blamire before halftime.
Wainwright sealed the bonus point in the 50th minute. Despite late tries from Jack Innard and a George Barton penalty, Gloucester couldn't mount a comeback. Prince Harry attended with Tigers chief executive Andrea Pinchen.
