The outcome of an 11-try frolic suited both sides, even if neither director of rugby left the ground satisfied. Wasps secured five points to confirm their place in the play-offs and Worcester, who had waited for an away point all season, saw two come along at once to ease their relegation fears. Worcester moved nine points clear of the bottom club, Bristol, with four matches to play. They had looked the better team until Heem’s dismissal, strong up front, avaricious at the breakdown, where Wasps were hustled into mistakes, and enterprising behind. Wasps, six days before their European Cup quarter-final against Leinster in Dublin, were afflicted by drowsiness, stirring themselves when they needed to.
