The Zurich Premiership rugby relegation battle took an unexpected twist on Sunday when Leeds pulled off a memorable win over Leicester Tigers.
The victory was not though enough to move off the foot of the table, but they are at least now in striking distance of the clubs above them. With the Tykes winning, clubs such as Worcester, London Irish, Northampton and Harlequins will be rather more concerned about survival than before today. Despite the Leeds win, bet365 still make them odds-on for the drop with Worcester and London Irish next most likely. The Saints and Harlequins are given the best chance of staying up, although Quins must still goto Leeds in the penultimate round. Another potential relegation elimination game may also come on the final day of the season when Worcester host Northampton.
