What a gorgeous setting for a Rugby Club I hope the handling improves for the game then Gary Smiley where did you get that hat? And "Pretty" maids all in a row!!
I tell you what girls you run for it and we'll just check the beer spillage's. Start them early eh boys. OK  boys I've got the ball just follow me "CHAAARGE"
Poor old Duncan Misses out on the huddle, but the 15 out there really meant business.

Plymouth are a very big powerful team who like to play expansive rugby. The warriors needed to be in top form to consolidate their lead at the top of the table

James Brown, in the best form of his Warriors career, gets the game underway. (Open  your mouth and in goes your foot), the ball did not make 10, but Plymouth played the ball and in came the Warriors pack at full tilt.

Not a good start but it did show that the forwards were more than awake.

Plymouth forced a lineout wide on the right which they won, but the speed and power of the Warriors pack turned the ball over and attacked through the in-form Gary Trueman. Forcing a penalty, with Worcester choosing to go for a 5 meter lineout. catch and drive just like clockwork

Plymouth 0 : 5 Warriors

It was now all Worcester, even so the Plymouth backs were getting ball but the speed up in defence forced them to kick away all their possession.

The Worcester forwards were in magnificent form, using the pick and drive again and again before releasing James Brown and his rapier like musketeers. Gary Trueman and Tommy Hayes were in great form breaking through the defence again and again. Eventually creating an opportunity for Daren O'Leary wide on the right, he drifted and accelerated outside the defender scoring a great try. Converted by "The Man" Tommy Hayes

Plymouth 0 : 12 The Warriors

This did not phase the Plymouth forwards back they came showing plenty of power and organisation. Worcester were forced to give away a penalty some 40 yds out.

Up stepped Tom Barlow and calmly converted.

Plymouth 3 : 12 Worcester

A slight hic-u1 Back came The Warriors, James Brown's distribution was controlling the game his long miss passes were creating space for the ever willing Gary Trueman to capitalise on. Some great interplay saw him finally go over wide on the left running in towards the post to make the kick easier. He must be worried about Tommy's kicking???

Tommy calmly converted the try

Plymouth 3 : 19 The Warriors

Then came a moment of skill and tenacity from the Plymouth winger and naivety from the latest Scottish International Ben Hinshelwood. Instead of making the tackle he was stood up and the ball chipped over his flailing arms.

A well taken try which was converted by Tom Barlow

Plymouth 10 : 19 Warriors

We were then treated to another aspect of James Brown's play. as the confidence levels increase he just gets better and better. From an attacking ruck he took a snap drop goal and straight between the sticks it sailed.

Plymouth 10 : 22 Warriors

Straight from the kick-off Worcester attacked driving and running the ball deep into the Plymouth defence, only to lose the ball in a tackle situation.

The ball was well used by Plymouth who took their opportunity and once again Worcester concede a try in the dying minutes of the first half
