Match Commentary

82'The kick will win it. Andy Goode steps up and sinks his former club, a few cheers from visiting fans, Goode does not celebrate and that is so cruel. Wasps were poor and Worcester deserved more. Haskell admits: "They deserved the win ... we were pretty awful in parts"
81'Hughes held up inches from the line and Launchbury is also held up, But Jake Cooper-Woolley piles over, silences the crowd and Wasps are delighted. It's referred upstairs so there's no ambiguity and that levels the scores
81'11-11 Try - Jake Cooper-Woolley , Wasps
81'+211-13 End of second half
81'+211-13 Conversion - Andy Goode , Wasps
80'Wasps get the scrum. Two attacks, 27 phases and the clock stops with seven seconds left. Long delay while the TMO looks for something - nothing found - and an injury gets sorted. Crowd get vocal and almost pleading for their men to hold out. Hughes held up inches from the line and Launchbury is also held up, But Jake Cooper-Woolley piles over, silences the crowd and Wasps are delighted. It's referred upstairs so there's no ambiguity and that levels the scores
79'It's all being played out within a metre of the line ... make that half a metre
78'Nathan Hughes drives to within a metre of the line and Worcester just hold firm. They get the penalty right in front of the posts and with the clock running down they run it ... James Haskell held up a yard out as is Hughes
77'Desperate defence from Worcester in their own 10 metre zone but Wasps lacking a cutting edge
76'Chris Bell cuts a hole in the Worcester back line and Wasps are deep in the Worcester 22 for the first time this half, they've been that far off the pace
76'Player substituted - Mike Williams , Worcester Warriors
76'Substitute on - Richard de Carpentier , Worcester Warriors
75'Brilliant take from a high kick on the charge by Andy Symons but the next phase goes wrong as they are turned over
74'Worcester now playing the possession game and who can blame them
67'Both sets of props are warned by the referee. They nod and will carry on regardless! A penalty almost always follows at the next scrum and a card might not be far behind ... and bingo, Wasps' Matt Mullan penalised
66'
64'Tough but kickable penalty but Goode takes the touch option ...and Wasps then lose the lineout and immediately concede a penalty
64'Player substituted - Kearnan Myall , Wasps
64'Substitute on - Tom Palmer , Wasps
64'Substitute on - Nathan Hughes , Wasps
64'Player substituted - Ashley Johnson , Wasps
63'11-6 Penalty goal - Ryan Lamb , Worcester Warriors
62'High tackle from Carlo Festuccia - lukcy to escape without a yellow - and Ryan Lamb sneaks the ball over the bar from central right on the 10-metre line. Close enough that the two touch judges glanced at each other before raising the flags
60'Substitute on - Andy Symons , Worcester Warriors
60'Player substituted - David Lemi , Worcester Warriors
59'David Lemi off injured and he slumps to the bench, head in hands
59'Drop goal-missed
58'Drop-goal effort from Andy Goode got a massive elevation but it was two yards to the right. Cue more jeers from a crowd who are sensing they might be witnessing the first win of the campaign
57'Referee stops the clock and warns Worcester - "too much talking"
54'The kick from wide out sneaks to the left - the inside - of the post
54'8-6 Try - Sam Betty , Worcester Warriors
53'Inspirational moment from David Lemi who skips round the outside, he's tackled two yards from the touchline and throws the ball backwards and it's picked up by Sam Betty who goes over. It's referred to the TMO and Lemi's foot is as close to the line as you can get without stepping out. A couple of missed tackles but Lemi did well ... that's a riposte to Dean Richards and his comments earlier in the week
52'Another penalty on or around the halfway line and the Wasps pack are warned again - "stay in the contest"
51'Substitute on - Ed Shervington , Worcester Warriors
51'Player substituted - Agustin Creevy , Worcester Warriors
50'Loud cheers as Goode is thumped as he takes a hospital pass. Quality here is not great but it's not lacking in determination
50'Player substituted - Tom Lindsay , Wasps
50'Substitute on - Carlo Festuccia , Wasps
43'3-6 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
43'Drop goal-missed
42'Andy Goode strokes a penalty and Wasps lead for the first time
41'And half-time and Worcester can be happy with that even though it's all square. They have to win to have any hope of pulling off one of sport's great escapes and they are giving it a go
41'3-3 End of first half
40'And half-time and Worcester can be happy with that even though it's all square. They have to win to have any hope of pulling off one of sport's great escapes and they are giving it a go
40'3-3 Start of second half
39'Chris Pennell goes for another ambitious - perhaps over ambitious long-range kick ... but it goes just wide. He's not put off by distance, that's for sure
29'3-3 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
28'Andy Goode slots his first kick of the night
25'Drop goal-missed
23'Ryan Lamb goes for the drop-goal attempt from the 22 line but it drops wide.
19'Chris Pennell misses a hard kick from three or four metres inside the half, gave it a hell of a thump though
9'Substitute on - Charlie Davies , Wasps
9'Player substituted - Josh Bassett , Wasps
6'3-0 Penalty goal - Chris Pennell , Worcester Warriors
5'Superb kick from Chris Pennell from not too far short of the half-way line
1'0-0 Start of first half
