Worcester staged an astonishing fightback to defeat 11-man Bath 21-19 at Sixways. Bath had replacement hooker Ross Batty sent off for a dangerous tackle at a ruck 16 minutes from time, before Worcester laid siege. Worcester trailed 19-3 at half time, before an opening Heem try hinted at a comeback that ultimately set up a remarkable finish. But Worcester recovered impressively to leave Bath frantically hanging on at the end during several close-range scrums before claiming a pulsating win. Burns kicked two penalties to give Bath a 6-0 lead after 18 minutes, and Worcester were not at the races, pressing the self-destruct button just two minutes later.
