Err. Which is the Exeter team? I'm guessing the second one.

This is what I get for uncritically c&ping from the BBC website. It was in fact the first one.

You should know by now.

Not sure why I assumed Exeter would be giving all the Scottish lads a week off rather than Slade/LCD/Hill.

If Warriors can keep this within 40 and stay injury free it will be a successful day! I really think that's the best we can hope for!

Well that was a pleasant surprise! Apart from the first 15 mins Worcester showed some real fight today. Dominated the scrum and have really worked on the maul defence. Warriors players actually looked disappointed to not get more from the game.

The promotion of John Thomas to head coach and Mark Jones added to the coaching team has hopefully worked well.

Oli Morris and Nick David look like proper talents.

Much closer than many expected. Morris took his try nicely and does look to have something about him.

Morris makes a lot of really good breaks but its his defensive work that is top quality. He puts in some huge hits
