Sorry, I thought I posted it on Tuesday!
WOW, we’ve made it to the final after two very impressive wins over Munster A and Bristol rugby. We are undoubtedly the underdogs in Friday’s fixture but we were for the last game against Bristol. There’s hardly anything between the standards of Bristol and Worcester in the Championship. Although the Warriors have scored more points and conceded fewer than Bristol, they have also lost two games to Bristol’s one.
However in the B & I Cup, the Knights are the form team, not Worcester. The top two finishers after the Pool stages do battle in the Final. The Knights won the Pool stage by scoring two more league points than Worcester or Bristol but the Warriors bettered the Knights by a points difference of 13 over the six games and Knights bettered Bristol by twenty points.
Worcester beat Pontpridd 24 – 10 in the Quarter Final. Warrior tries were scored by Full Back Ben Howard, Wing Dean Hammond and Fly Half Ignacio Mieres.
Back Row Sam Betty was the Warrior’s leading try-scorer, followed by Full Back Perry Humphries.
Fly Half Tiff Eden was the Warrior kicker; Eden scored as many penalties as Dougie Flockhart but has converted fewer tries. He had a strike rate of 81%. The Knights are all too familiar with Eden when he played on loan for Nottingham from Worcester Warriors when they beat the Knights at Castle Park last Saturday.
Throughout the Cup, The Warriors have scored 28 tries, averaging 3.5 tries per game and over 60% of these were scored in the first half. The Warriors have only scored a couple of tries in the third quarter. The Back Row, followed by Full Back, followed by Wingers have scored the majority of their tries. Between them the back three have scored 39.3% of Warrior tries in the Cup.
Although very strong in defence, the Warriors have conceded the minor majority (?) of tries by the Back Row.
Defence is the Warrior’s forte; they have conceded the joint fewest tries together with London Scottish, who have played fewer games. The Warriors have been especially defensively strong away from Sixways as they’ve only conceded three away tries.
We thought that our semi-final result was close with a 27 – 22 win over Bristol; the Warriors beat Leinster A 15 – 13. It was a game that saw Wuss score two tries by Perry and Mat Gilbert.
