Leicester Tigers suffered a second straight Champions Cup defeat, losing 23-15 to Ireland's Leinster at home. The Tigers led at halftime but could not hold on for the win.
Director of rugby Geoff Parling expressed clear frustration. His team failed to capitalize on a strong position and a Leinster side making multiple errors.
Leinster's tries came from Jamison Gibson-Park and Dan Sheehan. Despite a spirited effort, Leicester earned no competition points from the match.
The loss leaves Leicester at the bottom of Pool 3 without any points after two opening fixtures.
