Leicester came from behind for a 34-8 bonus-point victory over Wasps to move to the top of the Guinness Premiership.

Trailing 8-3 shortly before half-time after Mark van Gisbergen's second-minute try, the Tigers went in front at the break as Johne Murphy's 40th-minute try was converted by Toby Flood for a 10-8 lead.
