WORCESTER Warriors' player ratings from their 25-19 Aviva Premiership win against Bath yesterday at Sixways.
Who was your man of the match?
7 Pennell – Missed the tackle which allowed Matt Banahan to race through for Bath’s try but was otherwise solid.
8 Humphreys – Full of running and was a yard short of giving Warriors a dream start with a try.
8 Willison – A spark in Warriors’ midfield and helped to set up the opening try for Josh Adams before injury struck.
8 Te’o – Was combative in the opening 40 minutes before powering past George Ford to create Warriors’ first try.
8 Adams – More composed from the wing, who showed explosive pace for his try which saw him beat the covering tackle from Taulupe Faletau.
8 Mills – Missed a few shots at goal but his monster penalty on half-time gave Warriors renewed belief.
8 Hougaard – Another aggressive and controlled display from Warriors’ talisman.
7 Bower – Started due to Val Rapava Ruskin’s injury but struggled to give Warriors parity at the scrum.
8 Taufete’e – Continues to grow in confidence, particularly with ball in hand.
7 Alo – Started in the place of the injured Nick Schonert but lacked composure at times in the first-half.
7 O’Callaghan – The drive from the experienced skipper was evident and Warriors will be keen to secure his services for next term.
8 Spencer – Was desperate to shine against his former club and didn’t disappoint in Warriors’ engine room. Worked hard and scored a try.
8 Vui – Has added a new dimension to Warriors’ line-out work since breaking into the team.
9 LEWIS – Made countless tackles and would have impressed on-looking Wales stand-in head coach Rob Howley.
8 Mama – Won his battle of the number eights against Wales ace Faletau.
