I reckon Warriors fans will be happier with how their rotation has lined up this week. I'd give them a serious chance of taking this one. Certainly hope they do, since it helps Wasps too .

[fivepointer]

Decent side Quins are putting out but i'm sure Wuss would have targeted this game and I see them as favourites.

I would too!

Worcester are a better side than they often get credit for - particularly at Sixways.

I’m fully expecting a home win. Not by a crushing margin, but comfortable enough.

Our biggest issues are at 10 and back row. I’ve not seen anything from Herron so far to suggest he’s a Premiership player and I doubt he has the skill or experience to manage a tricky game away from home. Worcester’s back row is definitely superior. As much as I like Lawday and Evans, they’re not as good as their opposite numbers (although Evans might get there if he fulfils his potential) and Lamb is yet to nail down a position - is he a lightweight lock or a 6? Either way he’s a bit powder puff.

I expect to be out of the game by half time only to have a late flurry which puts a false gloss on the score (sound familiar?).

I like Lamb and I think he could come good. This is his chance to show it.

[Mikey Brown]

I don't know what our recent record is against Worcester but I think pretty bad. Some teams we struggle to consistently get in to gear against.

[fivepointer]

I've opted to watch this and Wuss already have a BP and are all over a very poor Quins.

Turned it on just now for about 4 seconds. That's enough for me.

I can't tell from the highlights just how bad we were? And no I'm not willing to watch the whole game back to find out?

Same old Quins thing of dazzle and drizzle in equal measures? Whether that's from phase to phase or week to week, I've just totally lost faith in us doing anything consistently, other than make low/mid-table look like very hard work.

[Warrior85]

Very bad in the first half but I'd rather give credit to Worcester. Its the best half of rugby I have seen from Warriors in a long time. Hougaard and Weir were superb and its been a very long time since the forwards have ever had that much dominance. The new coaching set-up seem to be starting to click.

Second half Quins came back into it but I feel Warriors had taken their foot off the gas and the bench players were not quite as on it.

I’m not clairvoyant - sadly I just know exactly what to expect from Quins.

Fair enough. There's no shame in losing to you guys particularly and Worcester are pretty fun to watch now too.

Putting my Scotland hat on and derailing the thread completely, what do you make of CdP since his return? I never quite worked out if he had it as an international prospect. He seems pretty well regarded and solidly first choice now?

I'm a big fan of CdP. Hard as nails and always makes some good yards. Very good defensively and is always near the top of the tackle stats. He was solidly first choice and probably still will be, but with Kvesic in and Sam Lewis often being our best player it's hard to squeeze them all in along with Captain Ted.
