In what was the second edition of the exhibition, Leicester Tigers Development XV defeated Oxford Rugby 52-0 in their recent clash at the university’s home ground.
A mixture of senior academy, U18 Tigers talent and visiting players came together for the Friday night fixture and performed, Tigers turning up the pressure in the second half to come away with a dominant victory.
In his first appearance in over 16 months, Joshua Manz got the game’s first try after five minutes, which set the tone for what was an impressive performance from the flanker.
Tom Threlfall kicked four conversions, with centre Charlie Davies chipping in with two tries.
Leicester Tigers 52 (19 HT): Tries: J Manz, C Davies 2, O Thomas, L Adediran, H Palmer, M Carr, M Stuffins; C: T Threlfall 4, O Talbot 2) defeated Oxford 0
