Cockerill has been in charge since Heyneke Meyer quit in January

Leicester Tigers' acting head coach Richard Cockerill says the team has improved defensively in recent weeks.

Tigers have won their last five Premiership matches.

Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "We get confidence from training well and putting that into practice on a match day, and it's worked for us.

"Our discipline has been good. We've worked hard on our defence and we've been in single figures penalty-wise for the last five weeks."
