'Nobody is more embarrassed than I am' - Geordan Murphy
- 1139
Leicester Tigers head coach Geordan Murphy said his side turned in an 'appalling performance' after falling to a 41-10 defeat to Bristol in the Premiership.
The former Leicester and Ireland star took over the club following the departure of Matt O'Connor. It has been a mixed campaign for Leicester since, with yesterday's 31-point loss to the newly promoted side a low point.
Murphy gave a blunt assessment of his side's performance when speaking to the Tigers' Twitter account after the game.
No excuses. We are embarrassed.

"Nobody is more embarrassed than I am," Murphy said.
"An absolutely appalling performance. We are devastated. It's one of those things, we probably won't speak until next Friday. I've asked the boys not to do any media. I know it's going to be absolutely brutal for our fans to take. I hope they stay with us. We are in a bit of a hole and we just have to keep digging until we get out of it."
