WHAT a game it was on Tuesday night, as Worcester Warriors claimed the Premiership Rugby Cup in dramatic style against London Irish.
But how did the Worcester Warriors fare in our 'Player Ratings'?
15 - Jamie Shillcock 7
Strong display from the full-back. Kicked well and made some big moves defensively. Impressive having missed so much time out with injury lately.
14 - Perry Humphreys 6.5
Not his best game but did not get much ball in truth. Took his try really well at the end of the first-half. Subbed in the second.
13 - Francois Venter 6
Again, a player who has missed a lot of rugby this year but was solid throughout. Replaced by Lawrence early in the second-half.
12 - Ashley Beck 6.5
Much the same as Venter in terms of doing his job well. Made a couple of line-breaks and kept the ball alive.
11 - Duhan van der Merwe 7.5
Not a lot of ball in space but whenever he got it, he made yards and broke tackles.
10 - Fin Smith 8.5
Easy to forget this guy is a teenager. Cool, calm and composed. Great pass out wide for Humphreys try and nerves of steel to take the game to extra-time from the boot.
9 - Gareth Simpson 6.5
Has has more of an influence in games this season but did his job well. Nothing flashy. Replaced in the second-half.
1 - Ethan Waller 5.5
Good in the loose and defended well but scrum creaked throughout. Club legend status already confirmed. Replaced early in the second-half.
2 - Niall Annett 6
Struggled in the scrum but was industrious as ever and lineout went OK. Club legend status already confirmed.
3 - Christian Judge 5.5
Same as the other front-row, who all struggled at scrum time. Replaced early in the second-half.
4 - Joe Batley 6
Good as ever around the pitch but seemed to get pinged a fair amount.
5 - Graham Kitchener 6.5
Stole a few lineouts and lead from the front.
6 - Kyle Hatherell 9.5
What can you say. Carried like a truck, tackled like a warrior and scored the all important try. Were you watching, Eddie?
7 - Matt Kvesic 8
Scored the first try, catching Irish off guard. Conceded penalties but was a menace around the park and tackled relentlessly.
8 - Ted Hill 9
Much like Hatherell in the way he played. A few barnstorming runs, monster hits and so unlucky with the try ruled out. Were you watching, Eddie?
Subs:
17 - Rory Sutherland 6
18 - Murray McCallum 6
19 - Andrew Kitchener 6
20 - Sam Lewis 6.5
21 - Will Chudley 6.5
22 - Ollie Lawrence 6.5
23 - Alex Hearle 6.5
