Not the ideal start for new Tigers coach, Marcelo Loffreda and it was a former ally that spoiled his weekend in Ireland. Felipe Contepomi showed no signs of a World Cup hangover, and was fresh as a daisy despite the early start, playing a massive hand for the game's only try and kicking 15 points in the howling RDS gale. And it was a couple of old Leicester lads who epitomised the warrior-esque defensive efforts.
