Tigers into final to face Bath but Cheika warns 'hard work starts now'

LEICESTER boss Michael Cheika saw his side make their first Premiership final for three years - then warned the hard work starts now.

Tigers head to Twickenham on Saturday to face Bath, who topped the regular season table by 11 points, aiming to send Ben Youngs and Dan Cole into retirement with another medal.

Two wonder scores from wing Adam Radwan, to make it 11 in 10 games for Leicester, and a 66th-minute stunner from replacement Izaia Perese did the damage but they were hanging on at the end.

And Cheika, who was Wallaby coach when the Aussies lost the 2015 World Cup final, reckons a day out at Twickenham counts for nothing without the trophy.
