Moody will leave Leicester for Bath in the summer

Leicester Tigers flanker Lewis Moody says the whole side must take the blame for losing their 18-month unbeaten home record at the weekend.

The Tigers were beaten 32-23 by Saracens on Saturday and lost a record stretching back to September 2008.

Moody told BBC Radio Leicester: "We will sit down and evaluate our performances and the mistakes.

"We were all guilty of them at some stage or another. It's going to anger us and that's the way it should be."

In a disappointing performance by Leicester, Alesana Tuilagi and Marcos Ayerza scored tries and fly-half Jeremy Staunton landed two conversions and three penalties.

Leicester will now face Bath in their Premiership semi-final on Sunday (1600 BST).

"We made some errors on the day which cost us the game, it's as simple as that," added Moody.

"It was a frustrating day; especially to lose your unbeaten record, but it will kick-start us next week.

"They are mistakes you want to correct, you take them on the chin and your have to put them right.

"It's bitterly frustrating but you have to take disappointment in the right manner and made sure it manifests itself in the performance next week."
