Thomas Waldrom puts in-form Leicester within a point of Harlequins at the top of the table Flood had a pin-perfect match barring one telegraphed pass which Ugo Monye intercepted to sprint half the length of the pitch untouched. Flood later admitted that Leicester's momentum "had come from a collective squad effort all season." We couldn't have done this without the entire squad. Quins are a very dangerous side and they have attacking options everywhere," he insisted. We just need to hold on to our momentum now and finish the season in the same way. Flood should be one of the first on Stuart Lancaster's list for the South African tour this summer. Conor O'Shea, Quins" director of rugby, was magnanimous in defeat. He praised both sides, adding that the "battle was lost, but war was still to be won." The two sides went in at half-time with honours even. Quins" two tries came through the interception by Monye, and then Nick Easter burst over from a scrum from five metres out after Manu Tuilagi was sin-binned for tackling George Lowe without the ball. But Leicester would not lie down. Steve Mafi, having replaced Tom Croft who went off with suspected concussion, crossed, and, after another Flood penalty, the Tigers trailed 26-23 at half-time. Quins began the second period with renewed vigour with Lowe scoring a try after Flood had levelled the scores, but then Leicester took ownership of the match through sheer strength. Alesana Tuilagi burst over in the corner, Flood levelled the scores at 33-all, and, then the ever-busy Waldrom went over for his second. This rumbling Leicester side would simply not be denied.
