Watch the Match Highlights from Leicester Tigers v Edinburgh Rugby at Mattioli Woods Welford Road in the 2022/23 Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16.
Leicester Tigers have qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2022/23 Heineken Champions Cup after defeating Edinburgh Rugby 16-6 at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
Handré Pollard finished with 11 points from the tee, after landing three penalty-goals and one conversion, while Jasper Wiese was the lone try-scorer.
It took just five minutes for the first points of the night when Handré Pollard put the home side ahead 3-0 when Edinburgh were penalised within range for the Leicester fly-half.
Both sides traded blows in a physical first quarter before Pollard had another chance to add three, which went wide, in the 19th minute meaning the lead was just 3-0 at half-time.
Wigglesworth went to his bench during the break when he brought Jasper Wiese on in place of Olly Cracknell in the back-row and the No.8 had an immediate impact, which resulted in him receiving the Heineken Star of the Match award in just 40 minutes.
The scores were level after just three minutes of second-half action when Edinburgh were gifted a chance for three points in front of the posts and Emiliano Boffellin sent his first attempt successfully over the crossbar.
Edinburgh's full-back took his side into the lead, 3-6, with half an hour remaining before Wiese, with some fancy footwork and a memorable finish in the corner, crossed in the 51st minute before Pollard added the extras with a sideline conversion to make it 10-6.
The Scottish side missed a chance to make it a one-point game in the 55th minute when a penalty-goal attempt hit the posts and Pollard, in the 60th and 70th minutes, secured the 10-point victory with his final two penalty-goals.
