Cockerill: Tigers must improve

Leicester boss Richard Cockerill admitted his team will need to show a considerable improvement in next week’s Heineken Cup return fixture against Treviso in their quest for a quarter-final place.

Tigers laboured to a 33-25 Pool Three success at Welford Road after leading by 19 points at half-time, but they still claimed a bonus point triumph that closed the gap on group leaders Toulouse.

“We were inaccurate – we went to sleep in the second half,” Cockerill said.
