WARRIORS head coach Carl Hogg thought his players showed courage throughout the match.

Hogg believed Warriors’ bravery was typified when Sam Betty was driven over for the winning try deep into stoppage- time.

“I am absolutely delighted for the players – they showed bravery in the first-half with the way they tried to play with the ball in hand,” said Hogg.

“Tiff Eden decided to kick for the corner under Darren O’Shea’s instruction and they showed a huge amount of cour - age and bravery to nail the win.

“They went for the win – and fair play to them for having that approach.

“I think we only had about three min - utes in their half in the second period but we stuck to our guns defensively and we nailed it at the end.

“In the second-half, Munster controlled the game for long, long periods but we stuck to our guns and stuck to our task.”

He added: “Jean-Baptiste Bruzulier came off with about 20 minutes to go and O’Shea led the side and I thought he did really well.

“We want the opportunity to expose as many players as possible to a challenging level of rugby and, in the British and Irish Cup, players get exposed to different kind of opposition, too.”

Hogg was impressed by Munster, who were within seconds of registering a win at Sixways.

“Munster are very streetwise and very smart around the breakdown, both defen - sively and with ball in hand,” he said.

“We saw from their first try they were able to clear the gap behind the break - down and dive in behind.”

Hogg said the windy conditions had made it difficult for the place-kickers on both teams.

“The conditions were pretty blustery so it wasn’t as plain sailing as it was at Not - tingham last week,” said Hogg.

“I thought Tiff controlled the game in the first-half when we had possession.”

Munster ‘A’ head coach Mick O’Driscoll clearly had mixed emotions after the final whistle.

He thought his side had played well but felt Warriors’ match-winning try should not have been allowed.

“I am not too sure about the legality of the last try but, overall, either side de - served the victory,” he said.

“It’s a difficult one for us to take. I felt that Worcester didn’t have a maul – and they scored off a maul – so it did not make sense.

“We struggled a little in the first-half with Worcester’s physicality and domi - nance around the set-piece, mauling and scrummaging but I felt we came into the game a lot more.

“Our hooker, Niall Scannell, had a good game and Jack O’Donoghue and Paddy Butler were excellent.”

O’Driscoll added: “We are a very young side with plenty of good players who will learn a lot from the match.

“We look forward to welcoming Worces - ter to Cork in December and, hopefully, it will be a different result that night.
