Worcester have now won their last 13 matches since losing to Bristol in the dying seconds on the opening day of the season. It contrasts with this time last year when they were in the middle of a 22-match losing streak that saw them relegated from the Premiership. |
They completed that with Saturday's 43-24 win over Nottingham at Sixways.
Flanker Sam Betty ran in two of their six tries, while prop Val Rapava Ruskin, wing Sam Smith, and centres Max Stelling and Andy Symons were the others to cross the whitewash.
Ryan Lamb kicked four conversions and a penalty, while Symonds, on as a replacement, also kicked a conversion, prior to his late try.
Full draw (23/24/25 January): Doncaster Knights v Munster 'A', Worcester Warriors v Pontypridd, Bristol v Yorkshire Carnegie, Rotherham Titans v Leinster 'A'.
