TRY | OLLIE HASSELL-COLLINS

Ollie Hassell-Collins shows his class with a winding run down the left in attack and after beating one man, dummies to his support to send the last line of defence chasing air, and the speedsters scores for Tigers.

CON | JAMIE SHILLCOCK

Jamie Shillcock adds his seventh conversion for the night to make it 17-49 with just under half an hour remaining in Nottingham.

TRY | JACK KINDER
