OLLIE CHESSUM gave England a Six Nations scare as Tigers were left clinging on in Europe.

The second row failed an HIA in the 43rd minute and will be assessed by medics this week ahead of joining up with England for a training camp in Spain on Tuesday.

And there was a blow for Wales boss Warren Gatland as flanker Tommy Reffell was taken off following a head knock before the break.

Chessum had been a massive influence on the game before going off as Leicester gave it a crack against the four-times kings of Europe.

Leicester boss Dan McKellar said: "It was a head knock and he failed his HIA. We missed Ollie's lineout work in attack and defence, they were two big losses."
