Michael Cheika was a happy Head Coach following his side's away win over Saracens in Round 6 of the Gallagher Premiership season.
Speaking after the match, the Leicester Tigers Head Coach said: "I hope the fans enjoyed it tonight. It was a high-quality game in which we won some of the battles and lost some others."
"What really pleased me was, when the momentum swung back against us, we put our flag in the ground and said 'No, we are not moving from here' and the boys held on for one another."
Discussing the season so far, which has included five wins from six outings for Tigers, Cheika refused to be drawn in on celebrating too much, too soon.
"I think we are seeing more consistency as a group," Cheika said.
"Even as a coaching group, who only came together in the summer, we are starting to get to know one another better and the way in which we want to play, how we want to go out there and compete.
"Look, we definitely set some goals around where we wanted to get at certain points of the season but that was on how we play, not anything to do with competition points; what we are doing, definitely, is we are enjoying this climb together."
Asked if he believed Tigers were a better team than when Cheika arrived in the summer, the Head Coach quipped: "I hope so, otherwise we may as well just go home."
Focus now turns to the Premiership Rugby Cup, with three matches over the next four weekends, and Cheika will hand over the duties of leading the team to Neil Fowkes and Matt Smith.
The assistant coaches will lead the team during the Cup, kicking off next Friday night away to Northampton Saints.
