Leicester Tigers Secure Premiership Final Spot with 21-16 Win Over Sale

News summary

Leicester Tigers have secured a spot in the Premiership Rugby final after a closely contested 21-16 victory over Sale Sharks at Welford Road. Winger Adam Radwan was instrumental in the win, scoring two first-half tries that demonstrated his speed and agility, while Izaia Perese's late try broke a 16-16 deadlock to seal the match for Leicester.

Overall, Leicester's resilience and key individual performances were decisive in their progression to the final.
