Leicester 14
Leinster 23
ELLIS GENGE cursed a “missed opportunity” as his Leicester team’s double dream died at Welford Road.
The Premiership leaders had not lost all season at home – but their 16-win streak came to an abrupt end against classy Leinster.
The Irish province, coached by the former England boss Stuart Lancaster, raced into a 20-0 lead before weathering a second-half Tigers fightback, to book a semi-final clash with Toulouse.
The French holders reached the last four with a dramatic 4-2 win over Munster on ‘golden kicks’ after their tie finished 24-24 after extra time.
The clash at Welford Road was never that kind of close, leaving Tigers captain Genge frustrated at what might have been.
