Bath v Warriors (From Worcester News)

4:09pm

4:09pm

Time for the press conference. Not many positives for Richard Hill to take from that one, I'm afraid.

4:07pm

4:04pm

Well, in the end that was a pretty one-sided game and Bath were good value for the five points.

What now for Worcester from here? The Sixways side need to pick up their game and soon. Three sin-binnings, no cutting edge and general sloppiness all over the park.

4:00pm

Bath knock-on, but there can't be long left now. Scrum Worcester.

4:00pm

Bath are cruising now. Well, in truth, they have done for most of the second-half. They win a big scrum penalty and Heathcote finds touch mid-way into Warriors' half.

3:51pm

3:48pm

After a lengthy delay while Anthony Perenise was treated, play resumes with a Warriors line-out after a penalty against the hosts.

Bath then transgress at the breakdwon and Carlisle pumps the ball to the corner.

3:44pm

Warriors desperately trying to create something as the game goes into the final 10 minutes, but nothing is going right for them today.

3:35pm

Mass changes for Warriors as Matavesi, Shervington, Abbott and Hodgson come on for Claassens, Lutui, Best and Arr.

3:30pm

That passage of play really sums up Warriors. Should have scored, but couldn't take their chance, then Bath go straight down the other end and score a simple try.

Dave Attwood returns to the action after his sin-binning.

3:25pm

I'm back - sorry for the absence, but the wifi seemed to pack up for a bit!

2:59pm

It is amazing how Warriors can continually cause themselves so many problems. With Danny Gray slotting a 38th-minute penalty, how on earth did Bath then have the chance to score one penalty and nearly cross for another try with so little time left in the half?

2:57pm

Warriors hit for not rolling away now, Donald puts the ball to touch.

2:52pm

Bath thought they'd got a foot on the ball to turn it over, which would have given them a clear run to the line, but Wayne Barnes said they'd gone in at the side.

2:50pm

Line-out to Warriors on the Bath 22 after the hosts are guilty of not rolling away.

2:48pm

Schofield returns to the fray after his 10 minutes in the bin. Bath scored five points to Warriors' three during his absence, so not too much damage done.

2:47pm

Update from Pete Breakwell at England Women's Six Nations game with Ireland...

2:44pm

Bath seem to be targeting Warriors' shaky line-out by pinning the ball into the corners at every opportunity.

2:42pm

Warriors have already lost three of their first five line-outs.

Therefore, skipper James Percival tells Danny Gray to go for the posts after Bath were hit for not releasing.

2:40pm

2:37pm

Bath's turn to press now and they have the penalty five metres out as Warriors are hit for off-side. The hosts turn down the simple three points to go to the corner.

2:35pm

Good work over the ball by Matt Kvesic to win a holding-on penalty against Bath skipper Francois Louw.

2:29pm

Try disallowed for Warriors! With penalty advantage being played, Jon Clarke sends David Lemi over with a superb off-load, but referee Wayne Barnes said the ball went forward.

2:26pm

Penatly for Warriors as Rob Webber is hit for not rolling away after a good period of possession by Warriors. Gray pumps the ball to touch 15 metres out.

2:19pm

John Andress hit for early engagement, scrum Bath five metres out. Poor, poor from Warriors.

2:18pm

Let-off for Warriors there as Bath knock-on a metre from the try line after David Lemi had been forced to run Tom Biggs' grubber kick into touch in the corner.

2:17pm

Nice little show-and-go from Danny Gray to take play up to half-way. That should settle any nerves.

2:15pm

Stephen Donald gets the game under way for the hosts.

2:15pm

Both sets of players are out, let's hope for a big start from the visiting side.

2:14pm

Worcester could have done without that last-minute disruption, but Gray has looked a safe pair of hands this season.

2:07pm

2:06pm

No confirmation yet, but Goode is now heading back towards the dressing room. Pretty sure he isn't going to play.

2:04pm

Goodey is now watching the warm-up from the sidelines with Danny Gray in the 10 slot for the first XV and Joe Carlisle there for the replacements.

Seems as though Goodey might be forced to drop out of this match. Big blow for Warriors, if that's the case.

2:03pm

2:00pm

Goode still in discussions with the Warriors medical staff on the pitch. He doesn't look too well to me.

1:59pm

1:46pm

With his move to Gloucester having now been confirmed, Matt Kvesic is shunted from his preferred openside position to number eight, while Sam Betty starts at seven.

Wonder how long it will take before Betty and Francois Louw are knocking lumps out of each other. They've had a few run-ins over the last couple of seasons.

1:43pm

I'd love to predict an a Worcester win today, but I've been here so many times and never seen Worcester play well, let alone win.

Added to that Worcester's terrible away record in the league (no win since New Year's Day 2012), I'm going for Bath by 10-plus points.

I would love to be proved wrong by the players as a Worcester win today would be massive and a big step in the right direction.
