Were we meant to take more than 5 points from the game?

Watching replay now. Pearce's reasoning before their first try
is laughable.
Criticism of brown's defence equally risible.
Conceding so many points annoying but if it means we're not
complacent next week or in the Euro 1/4 then happy days

Re: Terrible 2nd half defence against relegation fodder

Just managed to catch the extended highlights (didn’t want to
comment without seeing some of it for myself).
I think context is important. We’d effectively had a month off
so I think there was almost certainly an element of rustiness.
The defence didn’t look great, but reading through the thread,
Worcester haven’t been given a great deal of credit. Some of
their tries were very good (Adams’ in particular) and where as
much to do with a good attack and quality offloading as they
were with our defence.
PG’s had our defence working really well up until now, so I’d
back him to fix it pretty quickly. As others have said, this is
effectively an ideal opportunity for him to b*llock the team in
a situation where we still managed to pick up 5 points.
One question - it looked like Dombrandt and Smith went off early
50 something minutes in. Is it coincidence that we got worse
after they went off or not?

No doubt some poor defensive sets , but they scored 3 tries when
we were down to 14 - and I don't think Ive seen such an
explosive runner as Adams in a long time , credit to Worcester
because Ollie Lawrence and Heem had good games and looked for
space at every opportunity just didn't find it with Mike Brown
on the field .
I think we relaxed after the first half , lots of early SH
changes and although always in control didn't have the same
cohesion in the 2nd 40 .
Danny Care and Marcus Smith were targeted by Wuss forwards who
ran straight at them at every opportunity , which is fair enough
, but I think its why Marcus was changed early for Lang .
I thought Clifford , Symons , Brown and Robshaw played really
well
We really need to make sure we reduce space out wide when we
meet them at Sixways - agree with the comments about Gab , his
defence isn't up to scratch - hopefully we will see Murley back
.

We’ve already played hem at Sixways (and lost). It was the game
where Ryan Mills has a very dodgy try given.
Adams is a quality player and Lawrence has looked excellent
whenever I’ve seen him play - a future England 13 in the making
and good competition for Marchant!

I think CQ may be referring to the European Quarter Final at the
end of March...

I think some are underestimating the quality of the Worcester
backs. Their backline of Hougaard, Weir, Mills, Venter, Adams,
Heem and Pennell is up their with the best back divisions in the
country. They were always going to be dangerous against tired
legs. And their tries were out of the top drawer.
Only Northampton and Wasps (only by 2) have scored more tries
than them outside the top 4.
Furthermore, the bookies only had us to win by 8 and we won by
14.
Not saying everything was perfect, but I'm not getting down on a
BP win, regardless of who it was against and how many points we
conceded. Worcester are far better than their league position
suggests.
