the scores were level at 27–27. A <a href="/wiki/Drop_goal" title="Drop goal">drop goal</a> from <a href="/wiki/Diego_Dom%C3%ADnguez_(rugby_union)" title="Diego Domínguez (rugby union)">Diego Domínguez</a> then put Stade three points ahead. Meanwhile, Leicester brought on replacement scrum-half <a href="/wiki/Jamie_Hamilton_(rugby_union)" title="Jamie Hamilton (rugby union)">Jamie Hamilton</a> for starting fly-half <a href="/wiki/Andy_Goode" title="Andy Goode">Andy Goode</a>, with starting scrum-half <a href="/wiki/Austin_Healey" title="Austin Healey">Austin Healey</a> switching to fly-half. <a href="/wiki/Glenn_Gelderbloom" title="Glenn Gelderbloom">Glenn Gelderbloom</a> was also brought on at outside centre, with <a href="/wiki/Leon_Lloyd" title="Leon Lloyd">Leon Lloyd</a> switching from outside centre to wing. </p><p>Leicester won a <a href="/wiki/Penalty_(rugby_union)" title="Penalty (rugby union)">penalty</a> just inside their own half and kicked to the left-hand touchline. The resulting <a href="/wiki/Line-out_(rugby_union)" title="Line-out (rugby union)">line-out</a> throw was too high and but it was cleaned up by <a href="/wiki/Neil_Back" title="Neil Back">Neil Back</a> at the back of the line. Back passed the ball to out to Healey, though the pass forced Healey to check his run to gather the ball. With the two sets of opposing backs 20 metres apart for the line-out, the Tigers backs executed a pre-called backs move. Healey would <a href="/wiki/List_of_rugby_union_terms#D" class="mw-redirect" title="List of rugby union terms">dummy scissors</a> with inside centre <a href="/wiki/Pat_Howard" title="Pat Howard">Pat Howard</a>, another dummy scissors with outside centre Glenn Gelderbloom before the ball would be passed to the big full back <a href="/wiki/Tim_Stimpson" title="Tim Stimpson">Tim Stimpson</a> who would take the ball into contact. Howard drew Domínguez and Gelderbloom drew the Stade inside centre, but the Stade outside centre who had only been on the field a few minutes, drifted onto Stimpson. Healey broke the Stade defensive line through the gap, before drawing the full back and putting Leon Lloyd in the right hand corner. </p><p>Lloyd's second try of the game gave Leicester a two-point lead, with the conversion to come. If Stimpson missed, another goal would give Stade the lead. If he scored the conversion, however, Stade would need a try. The kick from the right-hand touchline was from the most difficult position on the field for a right-footed kicker. Stimpson however hit the conversion straight between the posts, and Leicester were able to hang on to their lead for victory. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
