Leicester and ageless Mike Brown storm to bonus-point win over weakened Bath

Mike Brown made a strong case for a new contract at Leicester as the Bath head coach, Johann van Graan, saw his selection gamble backfire in the Midlands.

Van Graan sent a near-second string side to the Tigers lair and they were laid to waste by the hosts with the veteran Brown, playing on the wing, and the lock pairing of George Martin and Ollie Chessum to the fore. Brown, now 38, is eyeing a new deal with the club and did his cause no harm with an explosive display that showed he is an evergreen who shows no sign of wilting.
