Worcester brimming with confidence now - they secure possession on half way and resume their assault on the Biarritz defence. Forwards work hard, drawing in numbers up close, before the ball is swept wide to exploit an overlap. A fantastic, zipping pass from Warwick sends Grove over.

Warriors draw first blood following a beautifully executed back-line move. The line-out provides the platform and the ball is swept wide off the back, whilst Grove and Matavesi run some elaborate decoy lines. Eventually, it's Hammond who collects the ball out wide and powers over.

Wet, blustery conditions making for slow rugby here in Sixways. After fifteen minutes of play, Worcester earn a kick-able penalty inside Biarritz territory. Pennell steps up but the ball slips wide of the uprights.
Possesson divided relatively evenly this first quarter, but Biarritz have looked the more dangerous outfit. Score remains 0-0.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of this weekend's first European clash. The Warriors welcome Biarritz Olympique to Sixways just five days after an Aviva Premiership encounter with Northampton. Despite the short turn-around, only four alterations have been made to the side - Worcester know that a win is crucial having only collected two points in their opening two Pool 1 games.
Meanwhile, Biarritz are three points ahead of third-placed Worcester with Sale four points ahead at the top of the table. With only the winners of each pool qualifying for the quarter-finals, a loss would be extremely damaging to the Warriors' last-eight hopes. Kick off on the way!
