Leicester retained the Ed Slater Cup with a convincing bonus-point win over Gloucester at Kingsholm.

Handre Pollard kicked three penalties to two from George Barton before Ollie Hassell-Collins' try opened a cushion for the Tigers.

George McGuigan and Jamal Ford-Robinson hit back but tries from Julian Montoya and another from Hassell-Collins stretched Tigers ahead.

A Solomone Kata try at the end ensured Leicester took all five points.
