Default Leicester Tigers 39-0 Edinburgh

Leicester treated new coach Marcelo Loffreda to a perfect home debut thanks to a five-try rout against Edinburgh in the Heineken Cup at Welford Road.

Andy Goode touched down for the first of his 19 points on five minutes before Tom Varndell's try 10 minutes later.

A Geordan Murphy score extended the lead just before half-time and the Tigers secured a bonus point with a penalty try just after the interval.

Martin Corry added a late try in injury time on his 250th club appearance.

The victory gave the Tigers a much-needed confidence boost after their 22-9 defeat at Leinster the previous Saturday.

Loffreda was boosted by the return of England backs Dan Hipkiss and Varndell, along with second row Marco Wentzel and tight-head prop Martin Castrogiovanni.
