Leicester: Several flashpoints

The claustrophobic conditions in the stand where the coaching teams, assessors and supporters are positioned have been highlighted in the past as a source of potential flashpoints.

Tigers rugby director Richard Cockerill and head coach Matt O'Connor have escaped censure following allegations they abused match officials during the Aviva Premiership play-off victory over Northampton 10 days ago.

The club has welcomed the decision by the Rugby Football Union and has pledged to look into the seating arrangements at their ground.

"We will be working closely with Premiership Rugby Limited on the issue of the location of team coaches and officials on matchday," read a statement.
