Saracens have been knocked off the top of the Guinness Premiership by champions Leicester Tigers.

The Men in Black have led the Premiership since September but the Tigers have taken advantage of recent defeats by Sarries to lead the pack.

Leicester ended Saracens' 100 per cent home record last week with a significant victory at Vicarage Road and the Tigers' bonus-point win over Wasps took them top on Saturday.

Saracens have a game in hand on their rivals and are only one point behind them. Their next league match, due to a break for European and LV Cup action, is a month away when they host Worcester at Wembley.
