Head Coach, Lyn Jones, commented as follows:

"After last years narrow loss in the final against Leicester at Twickenham both players and supporters are keen to see us make amends and go one step further this year. This is a great tournament and we hugely enjoyed last season's competition. There is always an edge when you play the English clubs that comes from both traditional rivalries and from the fact that we simply do not come up against each other that often. This lack of familiarity is exciting for us as coaches and players and it should give spectators an enjoyable and open match."

"Worcester have not had the best of starts this season, losing all but one of their games, but this is not for want of trying and I am sure they will prove to be strong opposition on Saturday. Their game is organised and structured and they are well coached, as you would expect with Mike and Clive at the helm. They will be disappointed to have lost games by the odd score and we know that we will have to be at our best to get what we want out of the game."
