19-26 68 minsJohn EvelyKnock onThat is such a pity. Bristol show some stunning quick passes to move the ball wide for Deago Bailey to burst into the Tigers 22. But seven phases later, with Leicester having had time to recover their defensive shape, Jake Heenan knocks on from a challenging pass from Ellis Genge. Scrum to Tigers 10m from their try line. 19-2665 minsJohn EvelyRED CARD - Leicester TigersIn the build-up to the try Francois van Wyk has hit Ellis Genge to the head with his shoulder. Bristol have 15 minutes to make the extra man count. 19-2665 minsJohn EvelyTRY - Bristol BearsBryan Byrne is over. Bristol are stopped from the first lineout drive but Leicester concede a penalty.
Ellis Genge taps and goes from 5m out but is hit hard. The Bears remain patient and a couple of drives later power over through the hooker. AJ MacGinty adds the extras. 19-2662 minsJohn EvelyTry saving tackleA matter of inches again. AJ MacGinty, who has just joined the action, puts in a cross-field kick pass to Semi Radradra who moves the ball wide to Deago Bailey. Bailey, still just 20, has so much work to do and dives for the corner with Freddie Burns just dragging his feet into touch as he goes air born trying to touch it down. We come back for an earlier penalty which MacGinty kicks to the corner. 12-2660 minsJohn EvelyTry saving tackleTigers are on the attack again and work the ball to the left with some neat pull bvack passes, Freddie Stewart give a great pass to Chris Ashton who dashes doen the wing but Semi Radradra gets across to tackle him. Ashton offloads but Guy Porter drops it with the line begging.

Moroni shaped hole- There was plenty made of the gap that Genge and Ford would leave with their departures in the summer but it seems the Argentina centre may be the biggest hole. The centres now seems a bit of a weak area for Tigers as they lack both defensive and attacking prowess. The quicker Dan Kelly and Guy Porter can get back on the field the better.
26-2674 minsJohn EvelyReset scrumThe scrum spins and we reset. Max Lahiff, the Bristol tighthead is off for Jay Tyack. Finally the ball comes out of a scrum. 19-2673 minsJohn EvelyAgonising Reset scrum. The two sides engage too soon so we take an age for the sides to pack down again. 19-2672 minsJohn EvelyCollapsed scrum Time is running out on Bristol. The first scrum goes down. This is playing right into Leicester's hands. 19-2670 minsJohn EvelyScrum to the rescueLeicester keep the ball in the scrum and turn the power on to win a penalty. Freddie Burns kicks to half way. Tigers are moving at a snails pace in everything they do now to run down the clock. But Bristol's pack come up big at the lineout as they stop the maul, splinter it and then wrap up the ball to win a turnover at the scrum. But the clock is ticking.
It is a funny feeling but we are on the right track. There is a long way to go in this competition, to get three points and score four tries is a great effort. The result is what we are after of course but we focus on the little things to make the performance and there was a lot to like about that. We have to look at our discipline but a lot of credit to Leicester, we know they are a good side and they challenge you in every area and we have to focus on getting those little jobs right becasue technically they will squeeze you if you don't. 22:06John EvelyReaction from man of the match Gabriel IbitoyeI wouldn't say we were happy with the draw. In the first half we started well but we tapered off.

I am really proud of the boys, we started off as we planned to but then got a yellow card for Semi with Freddie dipping low and conceded three tries there and were down 10-0 on the penalty count which I have never experienced. The boys' fightback was tremendous.

We let ourselves down so we gave ourselves a real hard talking to in the changing rooms. We promised we would give everything to try and get the win, unfortunately we couldn't do that. Results haven't gone our way which isn't good but the performances have been building. We are getting better every week and we have to just look ahead to the next game, we can't get caught looking too far ahead or back, we have just got to take the games as they come. 21:59John EvelyInteresting scenes on BT SpotPat Lam comes up and gives AJ MacGinty a hug.
