Warriors ratings v London Irish

7:30pm Sunday 7th February 2010

By Tom Guest

Latham: His usual classy self. Set up attacks and kicked impeccably throughout. 8

Pennell: The in-form winger still looks a real threat despite his two knee ops. Bagged another try. 8

Rasmussen: Much improved on last week’s poor performance. Set up Pennell’s try with a fine break. 8

King: An able deputy for the absent Sammy Tuitupou before being forced off by a calf injury. 7

Garvey: Some glimpses of his electric pace, but could find little space to work in. 7

Walker: Excellent goal-kicking, but Matt Jones added some spark to the back line when he came on. 7

Arr: Put in some lion-hearted tackling efforts on the Exiles’ biggest ball-carriers. 7

A Black: Brilliant scrummaging gave Worcester the platform for victory. Not sure about his dummy-kick though! 8

Lutui: The Tongan hooker was playing well before having to limp off before half-time. 7

Taumoepeau: Rock solid as the Worcester pack refused to take a backward step. 7

Rawlinson: The heart-beat of the scrum and some crunching tackles which could be felt in the stands. 8

Gillies: Back to his old self, stealing plenty of Exiles throw-ins. Much improved on Gloucester performance. 7

Cracknell: Another one to raise his game from the previous week. Made countless tackles for his team. 7

Sanderson: Impressive work rate from the skipper — was always the first man into the tackle to thwart Irish. 7

Horstmann: Controlled the ball well at the back of the scrum as the visitors’ pack retreated at a rate of knots. 7
