WORCESTER Warriors head coach Richard Hill admits his side are “not there yet” despite watching them rack up their 19th win out of 20 Championship games this season.

The Sixways chief was impressed with the nature of Warriors’ performance in the convincing 38-24 victory over Nottingham at Meadow Lane but feels there is more to come.

Hill is happy with how the team are putting their opponents to bed but is still in search of a complete 80-minute performance.

He explained: “We are moving nicely and building. There have been some good performances, but we are not there yet. We are not an 80-minute team yet.

“We had 60 minutes against Cornish Pirates and 60 minutes at Nottingham — we have got to wait for that complete display.

“There is no point playing your best rugby at the start of February. The big games come in March, April and May. We need to gain momentum and confidence to know we can go to any side and win.

“We have got to raise our levels and make sure we peak. At the moment, I sense we are heading the right way. I thought it was a very professional display by us.

“It would have been easy to produce a sloppy performance because we have won the league already.

“Our thoughts are turning towards March 12 and those play-off games.

“But I was delighted that the players really got up for the game.

“They prepared well and produced a really good performance, particularly in the first-half when we did not let Nottingham into the game and were very clinical.

“Our forwards were precise, handling was good and our three-quarters were making yardage over the game line. We produced really quick, recycled ball with good pace and intensity.

“To get the bonus-point try just two minutes into the second-half was what we told the team to do. At 31-9, it gave us the chance to put the replacements on and give them game-time.

“We eased up a little bit and Nottingham, with a bit of loose possession and tempo, came back and scored three tries.

“That is slightly disappointing but not a bad thing for a coach. You always want something to moan about and we know we are not perfect yet.”
