• Home side overturn 16-point deficit 20 minutes after time
Twenty minutes after time had elapsed, with Bath down to 11 men, Duncan Weir landed the conversion that has secured Worcester a vital edge in this insane relegation battle. Insanity is the word for this finish, Worcester overturning a 16-point deficit at the break to put four points between them and Newcastle at the bottom of the table.
In the end, Bath faced a scrum with three backs and a scrum-half in defence, allowing Bryce Heem to stroll in for his second try of the match. A red card for Ross Batty in the 64th minute was followed by a yellow for each Bath prop during an extraordinarily tense series of scrums on Bath’s five-metre line after time was up.
