EDINBURGH put in a spirited display only to be outdone by Leicester as the Tigers booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Heineken Champions Cup.
An upset seemed on the cards as the capital side held a narrow lead after a couple of Emiliano Boffelli penalties in the second half had them 6-3 up.
But Handre Pollard kicked Tigers clear after Jasper Wiese’ got the only try of the game.
The defeat Edinburgh's ninth in their last 10 games effectively ended Mike Blair's side's season.
They still have two league matches to play but their hopes of a place in the play-off were finally ended when they lost last week at Connacht.
