Billy Searle's last-ditch penalty seals poignant Leicester win against Bath

• Leicester 22-20 Bath

• Lewis Moody, who has MND, watches his old teams

Leicester-Bath this may have been, the great rivalry of English rugby, courtesy of their pre-eminence either side of the turn of the millennium, but there was as much for rugby connoisseurs to savour at half-time on the Welford Road turf as there was during the actual match. Martin Johnson led a phalanx of Leicester old boys in honour of Lewis Moody, who has announced his diagnosis with motor neurone disease.

"Today's game was a great advert for how we get behind our own," said Geoff Parling, Leicester's head coach. "Not just Lewis, but Ed Slater too. I was at Newcastle when Doddie [Weir] was there. When something happens to one of ours, the whole rugby community gets behind them."
