Freddie Thomas also touched down, with Santi Carreras adding three conversions as their attack rattled Tigers.


But it was a totally different story after the interval as the Leicester pack took control.


Josh Bassett, Dan Kelly, Ollie Hassell-Collins and Pollard all scored tries, with the latter also kicking a penalty and three conversions.
