Cockerill took over from South African Heyneke Meyer

Leicester Tigers acting head coach Richard Cockerill says it will take time for his side to get to grips with a slightly more expansive style.

The Tigers romped to a 38-5 win over Worcester Warriors on Saturday and Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "We want to run it and play a bit more.

"There's no point in having world class players if you not going to pass the ball to them. We're working on that.

"It's not perfect and we have to work and make it as fluent as possible."

Tigers were always in control against Warriors and ran in five tries for their first win in three games.

Although Cockerill was happy with the win, he said the margin of victory could and should have been greater.

"It's a good result; it was a good display in lots of ways," he said.

"We would have liked to have been a bit more clinical at times but it's a good win."
