Leicester Tigers boss Richard Cockerill says that the team must improve ahead of their return Heineken Cup fixture against Benetton Treviso next weekend.

Leicester Tigers boss Richard Cockerill has admitted that his team must improve despite recording 33-25 victory over Benetton Treviso in their Heineken Cup clash at the weekend.

The result has left Leicester in second spot in the table, but Cockerhill has claimed that they "will have to be a lot better" in the return fixture next weekend.

"We were inaccurate - we went to sleep in the second half. It was a lot closer than we would have liked but it's job done but no more than that. It certainly won't lead us to be complacent next week, so maybe it has done us a favour," he told reporters.

"We will have to be a lot better. Treviso were good but I don't think we were under any illusions. Two years ago we nearly lost in Treviso in the first round of the pool stage.

"The players will know they are in for a tough afternoon next week. We have got to go there and try to get five points. Whether that is attainable, we will have to wait and see."

The victory was the Tigers' second win of their Heineken Cup campaign.
