Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill labelled his side "naive" after seeing them slip to 23-9 loss away at Toulouse.

Bounce back

The Aviva Premiership side will now have to bounce back quickly against Ospreys at Welford Road next time out, or else leave themselves with a serious mountain to climb to reach the knockout stages. Cockerill could at least take some positives from his team's display on their travels, even if they return home with nothing to show for their efforts. "There was a lot of things we did out there that were really good," he added. "We really just need to keep and composure. It's one game against a very, very good side. They squeezed the life out of us. "We just need to make sure we play the ball in the right areas and make the right decisions at the right times."
