Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill has called for patience as England flanker Tom Croft battles his way back to top form and fitness after injury.

Cockerill added: "Obviously there are things that we could have done better and could have made things easier for ourselves but it's about winning at the end of the day. "We got the four points and at the end of the season nobody will care about the weather or the game, it's international week so nobody cares as long as we win." "Obviously you would like more and potentially the five points but at the start of the day if you'd offered me four points and no significant injuries then I'd have taken it. Welsh are a hard side to play against."
