Steve Borthwick's bang, Tom Youngs' parting words and 8 other talking points from rout of Bristol Bears

Leicester Tigers winning at home we've come to expect, they've done an awful lot of that in the past year.

But what few could've anticipated was just how emphatically they blew Bristol Bears out of the water to win 56-26 allowing Steve Borthwick's side to now focus squarely on knock-out matches that lie ahead.

Here's LeicestershireLive's talking points and things you might've missed from the memorable Gallagher Premiership Round 24 encounter...

In a season that has, so far, been beyond our wildest expectations, there have been many stand-out moments for Leicester Tigers fans. Nothing, however, has come close to the emotion of when Tom Youngs led the team out for the final time in front of the home faithful. The standing ovation was as long as it was heartfelt and set the tone for an afternoon of celebration for supporters at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.

They celebrated the career of not only one of the best captains in the club's history, but also a family man who has had to experience a heartbreaking family situation. The former British and Irish Lions hooker is a bona fide Leicester legend and was given an ovation that said as much.

His parting words post-match would've only strengthened that bond with the Tigers' faithful, while encircled by players and photographers and facing the Crumbie Terrace, he said into the microphone: "Hopefully we get Saints in the semi and **** them up".

The way Tigers managed the send-off was perfect. And the players delivered a performance and result befitting of the occasion too.

55 points away at Wasps in the Premiership Cup and 54 points away at Franklin's Gardens looked like being the best performances of the season in terms of points scored, until Bristol Bears arrived on Saturday
