Tries: Northmore Cons: Smith

Adam Radwan scored a hat-trick as Leicester's wingers lit up Welford Road in an incident-packed victory over Harlequins.

Ollie Hassell-Collins on the opposite flank scored twice before Hanro Liebenberg added a late sixth try as the Tigers streaked away in the second half and strengthened their push for a home semi-final.

Luke Northmore gave Quins a chance in the last play of the first half as he capitalised on Handre Pollard's loose pass to sprint through and score.

But the visitors had Cameron Anderson sent off for two mistimed tackles, the second of which left the 25-year-old wing needing treatment for a head injury and removed from the pitch on a stretcher, and they were reduced to 13 players when Tyrone Green was sent to the sin-bin.

Quins and England fly-half Marcus Smith played on after injuring his ankle early in the match but was visibly limping when taken off with 14 minutes remaining.

The bonus-point win moved the Tigers back up to second in the table, with Bristol Bears playing at Northampton Saints later on Saturday.
