"Don’t put us in that bracket of 'we gave it a good crack'"

Ellis Genge of Leicester Tigers complains to the referee during the Heineken Champions Cup quarter final at Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium. 

Ellis Genge made it clear before Leicester’s meeting with Leinster that we wouldn’t tolerate any talk of the Tigers being plucky loser if the score went against them in the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final., And he repeated it afterwards.

The England prop was having none of it when it was put to him that the Premiership leaders had just come up short against a visiting side that could boast 12 Ireland internationals in their starting XV.
