WORCESTER Warriors may have got over the final hurdle in their quest to avoid relegation from the Aviva Premiership after thrashing Harlequins 44-13 at Sixways.

But lock Darren Barry insists the aim now is to show Warriors are “not a one-trick pony” as they bid to overcome Northampton Saints on the final day of the season on Saturday (4pm).

Needing one point to retain their top-flight status, Warriors came out firing against Quins on Saturday and settled the survival battle by half-time.

Tries from Bryce Heem, Jackson Willison, Barry and Ben Te’o saw Worcester secure the all-important bonus point in the first half.

They then continued their scoring spree after the break with Francois Hougaard and Jamie Shillcock going over before Willison notched his second late on.

It was Warriors’ second biggest win in the Premiership, only bettered by their 51-10 thrashing of Newcastle Falcons 10 years ago.

But having strung back-to-back wins together just twice this season Barry stressed the importance of putting on another winning display at Northampton.

“It is great to have the pressure off us now,” said the 28-year-old on the relief of beating the drop.

“But it means nothing if we don’t go and back it up next weekend.

“We have left it until the second from last game of the season to probably put in our best home performance this year which is disappointing.

“We need to make sure we show that we are not a one-trick pony and can only do it on one-off occasions when emotions are running high like they were on Saturday.”

As well as moving 14 points clear of relegated London Irish, second-from-bottom Warriors have given themselves a chance of finishing as high as ninth.

Worcester are level on points with 10th-placed Quins who host leaders Exeter Chiefs and with Saints only two points clear of Alan Solomons’ men a win at Franklin’s Gardens could see them climb two spots.

The last time the Sixways side finished higher than 10th was in the 2005-06 season when they came eighth.

“We know that Northampton are within our sights so we want to go up there and give them a good game,” Barry said.

“Hopefully we can get that victory and finish the season off with two back-to-back wins.

“It would make the season look a bit better than it has been as we have been inconsistent.

“If we could have had a run of four or five wins on the trot we might say it was a decent season.

“But on the whole we are a bit disappointed that we have left it until now to secure our place in the Premiership.

“Back-to-back wins would look good and if we could get 10th or ninth place that would be even better.”

Saints have lost five of their past six games and went down 30-15 to Warriors at Sixways in November.

“Like Harlequins, Northampton are in a transition phase with new coaches coming in next season,” Barry added.

“But I am sure players like ourselves will want to go out there and perform.

“We are remembered for how we play at the end of the season so hopefully the coaches will rate that.”
