Leicester retained the Guinness Premiership crown with a pulsating 33-27 victory over Saracens at Twickenham on Saturday. A try from replacement centre Dan Hipkiss three minutes from the end of a thrilling encounter propelled the Tigers to their seventh Premiership success and an unprecedented ninth English League title. Tries from centre Matt Smith and scrum-half Ben Youngs put them in control in a breathless first half but it was the boot of fly-half Toby Flood that guided them home with 18 points courtesy of four conversions and three penalties. Two tries from captain Ernst Joubert and the boot of No.10 Glen Jackson kept Sarries in touch and a penalty five minutes from time put them within reach of a famous victory. But Leicester showed their class to conjure a late turnaround with a dramatic lineout steal from lock Geoff Parling finally snuffing out Saracens' brave challenge. http://www.scrum.com/premiership/rugby/story/116425.html
