Sting in tale as Wasps leave Worcester facing drop

London: Premiership strugglers Worcester are in danger of crashing out of the English top-flight after Wasps snatched a dramatic 13-11 win at Sixways on Friday.

The Warriors led 11-6 heading into the last minute after flanker Sam Betty`s second-half try looked to have secured four crucial points. Wasps had been the last Premiership side beaten by Worcester in March last year, since when the Warriors had gone 21 league games without a win. But there was a sting in the tale for Worcester as Wasps prop Jake Cooper-Woolley touched down from close-range, and former Worcester fly-half Andy Goode converted with the game`s final kick to edge the visitors to victory. Worcester are now 10 points adrift of 11th-placed Newcastle with just five league games left, and they will travel to Tyneside on Sunday week knowing they have to win. Two of Worcester`s other remaining fixtures are away against title contenders Bath and Saracens. Wasps are set for a mid-table finish, and much of this display lacked snap and precision despite England lock Joe Launchbury making a quickfire return to domestic action following his powerful displays in the Six Nations.
