Dan McKellar has reacted to Leicester Tigers’ defeat away to two-time defending Investec Champions Cup champions La Rochelle.
Tigers were well beaten by a La Rochelle side that needed a win to get their campaign going.
“They’re an incredibly difficult team to beat if you let them get a roll and we just gave them too many opportunities to use their power around our goal-line,” McKellar said.
“They’re obviously an incredibly difficult challenge, particularly at home and we didn’t do enough to stop their game and equally, we left to many opportunities out there.
“I certainly can’t fault our commitment to the jersey or our fight in that game and we’ll take a lot of lessons from that game.”
Tiger now look forward to taking on Leinster at Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Saturday with tickets selling fast.
