The hosts opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Vereniki Goneva crossed over on the left, before Owen Williams added two points with his boot.

The 23-year-old added a further six points in the half through penalty kicks, but opposite number Jimmy Gopperth struck nine points with his boot for a half-time score of 13-9.

Tigers found themselves out of sight after the restart, however, through another penalty from Williams and a 60th-minute try on the right from new signing Telusa Veainu.

Lorenzo Cittadini ran in a try late on, with Ruaridh Jackson adding the extras, but it proved too little too late as Tigers hung on for the win.
