Josh Bassett after debut in Ealing v Worcester Warriors

In his competitive debut for the club, having been out injured since pre-season, Bassett started in Warriors' 34-33 defeat against undefeated league-leaders Ealing Trailfinders.

The wing announced himself in style, running a clever line to be found from full-back Juan Gonzalez's impressive offload, and get on the scoresheet on the stroke of half time.

Despite defeat the wing felt there were plenty of positives for Warriors to take from the game.

"So close," said Bassett. "Frustrating but if you look at the overall performance, there is so many positives to take.

"I think if you look at what Ealing have done this year in the league, to come to their patch, be within a point, it’s a frustrating one but we are certainly going to take a lot of positives from it.

"It’s a game that I wanted to be involved in, you want to test yourself against the best and Ealing are definitely that this season.

"It’s great to be out there, great to be out there with the boys, all the work put you put in, in pre-season, to finally make my debut is amazing."

Bassett's try came from a moment of brilliance from his Uruguayan teammate, who took down a high ball, kicked it forward, reclaimed his own kick and then found Bassett while being brought down.

"Juan did a bit of magic, offload off the floor and then an easy run-in for me," said Bassett.

"I can’t claim too much but like I said, the performance, I thought the forwards were outstanding today.

"Physical up front, really good around set piece, all those little bits.

"Like I said there is so many positives for us to take from this performance and it’s something we can definitely build on."

Despite getting on the scoresheet in his competitive debut, Bassett admitted he would have rather walked away with victory.

"As a winger it is always important to get on the scoresheet," he admitted. "But would I rather score and us lose or would I rather not score and us win? I would always take the win.

"It is a team game, a team performance and like I said I thought the forwards were amazing.

"Sometimes you forget that we only came together five, six months ago. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of that – no one knew each other, there was nothing put in place.

"For a medical team, and S and C team, a rugby team to come in, be able to put this together and lose to top of the league by one point, I think that is something amazing."
