Flood scored 23 points and the first of four tries as Leicester maintained their unbeaten Heineken Cup record with a 38-27 win at Welford Road.

"That pack was phenomenal. They have so much talent and so much want and desire to be successful," said Flood.

"Julian has done everything you possibly can do as a player and yet there he is at the forefront of our pack and pushing them over from 10 metres.

"Playing behind that pack and the atmosphere and drive it gives the team is unbelievable.

"And then you have Lewis Moody who just runs around like it is his last game and without a care in the world. You would never believe he has kids and a family!"

Flood returned to Tigers duty after five tough weeks with England, which ended in a 32-6 defeat to New Zealand but he insisted his confidence had not been dented.

"It is fantastic to be back," he said.

"The one pleasure of playing for England is that you are representing your country but when you come back to the club you step out of the limelight and you can get back to what you were doing before you went off with England. You almost slot straight back in.

"You have to have confidence if you play 10 or 12 because you need to control the game. My confidence was never really affected by what happened last week."
