FULL-TIME: Rotherham gave Warriors a scare by leading 22-19, but the hosts staged a fightback to run-out deserved winners, 32-25.
Replacement hooker Ed Shervington scored from a driven line-out, while Joe Carlisle made the game safe with some reliable goal-kicking.
The performance left a lot to be desired at times, but Richard Hill's men still went on to make it three wins out of three.

Rotherham have given it a good go in the first-half at Sixways and only trail by a point, 16-15, at the interval. Worcester have, again, not been fluent enough, but a try from Miles Benjamin and 11 points from Andy Goode's reliable boot have kept their noses in front. There some confusion as to who scored Rotherham's two tries, but I'm led to believe Rob O'Donnell scored one and Dan Baines got the other. Argentinian inside-centre Juan Socino has kicked two penalties for the Titans.
GOOD afternoon and welcome to the Worcester News' live coverage of the Championship clash between Worcester Warriors and Rotherham Titans at Sixways (3pm).
Clicking on the link above takes you to my Twitter page where I'll be doing my best to keep you up to date with the action.
England fly-half Andy Goode and half-back partner Andy Williams both make their first league starts for Warriors.
Two changes in the pack create starts for hooker Aleki Lutui, who impressed against Plymouth Albion last weekend, and James Collins.
