8 Hanro Liebenberg (Leicester Tigers)

66′ 𝐓𝐑𝐘 | @hanroliebenberg !!

Today’s skipper crashes over in the corner after the ball from a beautiful up-and-under lands in the hands of the back-rower, who races almost 40m to score!!

[40-31] #EXEvLEI 🏉

Hanro Liebenberg couldn’t have done much for for Leicester Tigers today. Captaining a side reduced to 14 men early on, he was a defensive & lineout leader. His breaks and passing were constant and his try raised hopes of overturning Exeter. Class act.https://t.co/x6ImlMgAbQ pic.twitter.com/XrGD4GRbuw
