Leicester fly-half Toby Flood said he was thrilled to have come through his first start unscathed after six months out with a ruptured Achilles.

The England back, 24, scored a try and played a key role in Saturday's 39-6 home victory over lowly Leeds.

He told BBC Radio Leicester: "It was good to get back and really important to get that first start under my belt.

"I felt sharp and although it took a while to get my head around the calls again, it went well and I enjoyed it."
