Scott Hamilton aiming for strong finish for Leicester

Leicester Tigers back Scott Hamilton says he wants Leicester Tigers to end the Premiership season with a flourish.

The Tigers have five games left in the season before play-offs begin.

Hamilton told BBC Radio Leicester: "We've got to keep pushing on. We've got a pretty good run-in with three of the last four games at home.

"We've not lost at home for a while and we want to keep that going. If we win all our games at home we will probably finish in the top two."

Leicester travel to Worcester on Saturday, 27 March and then end the season with home matches against Bath, Harlequins and Saracens, with a road trip to Newcastle sandwiched in-between.

The Tigers are currently two points clear of second-placed Northampton, but the Saints have a game in hand.

"Hopefully we keep going on and once play-offs come all bets are off and we're back into it," added Hamilton.

"The form guide probably suggests us and Northampton will be one and two, but there's a lot of rugby to be played."
