FULL-TIME

Warriors come back from 25-7 down at the break to win a thriller 33-30 at The Mennaye.

Second-half scores from Andy Goode, Pat Sanderson (2) and Aleki Lutui secured the win for the visitors.

However, the hosts thought they'd snatched it with Rob Cook's 78th-minute try, but Richard Hill's men refused to give in.

HALF-TIME...

SHELL-shocked Worcester Warriors find themselves three tries to one behind at the interval.

Former Warrior Wes Davies has returned to haunt his former club, setting up two scores for Pirates and adding one himself.

Worcester took the lead through Alex Crockett's interception try after 19 minutes, but have been second best to the pumped-up hosts ever since.

A huge improvement is needed in the second 40 minutes if the visitors are to get anything from this game.

For Worcester, hooker Chris Fortey is called into the front row and will pack down with the recalled Tevita Taumoepeau and Adam Black as head coach Richard Hill makes four changes to the side that defeated Bedford Blues at Sixways in the last league outing.

Former New Zealand international Greg Rawlinson will team up with Craig Gillies in the second row, with lock Graham Kitchener in action for England Saxons on Saturday afternoon at Sixways.

Wing Miles Benjamin also returns to the back line, with Tom Arscott moving to the replacements bench, while Marcel Garvey will look to reinforce his position at the top of the league try scoring charts on the other flank.

Lock Will Bowley is among the new faces called up to the bench and he is joined by England Under-20 star Matt Kvesic.
