"The more experienced players and the international players were back for this game and I was quite impressed with them," said Meyer. "There were still a lot of errors but I am just pleased with how we did on some of the things that we have worked on in training.
"It was a better performance, but there is a long way to go and we can get better.
Wing Will Hurrell scored his third try in two pre-season matches following his double in Biarritz, with full-back Matt Smith also touching down in the first half and a penalty try near the end sealing a 30-17 victory for Tigers in a testimonial match for Ospreys and Wales wing Shane Williams in front of a 7,000-strong crowd.
Centre Aaron Mauger, who captained Tigers for the first time, said: It has been pretty tough in training but it is starting to pay off. The guys are getting through a lot of work and the concentration levels are better because they are not as tired.
Ospreys fielded a different starting XV in each half, while Meyer gave a run-out to most of his bench in Leicesters penultimate pre-season fixture. Mauger left the field briefly in the first half, but quickly returned to the action and said afterwards: I got a bang on the leg but I didnt want to spend five hours on the coach for just 20 minutes on the pitch!
