Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill has commended the fighting spirit displayed by his team in battling to a 27-27 draw against Bath.
The visitors were on course for maximum points at Welford Road when Jamie Gibson burst over the line to level the score with two minutes remaining.
"To battle back after trailing like we did and to be in with a shout of winning it at the last play is credit to the players," Sky Sports News quotes Cockerill as saying.
"We're still fifth with 10 games to go so it's not the end of the world. We have a long list of very good players to come back. We're not in a bad place.
"The game lasts for 80 minutes, not 79 minutes, and we just had to keep on going to see where we got to."
The Tigers are level with fourth-placed Harlequins on 32 points in the Aviva Premiership.
