• Warriors lock kept in hospital overnight
In his 20-plus years as Saracens chairman, Nigel Wray has presided over wins of more significance than this, but if the urgency of his charges’ performance is any gauge they were of a mind to pay him handsome tribute. The circumstances of his departure will continue to divide opinion. A 10-try demolition of Worcester, as eloquent as it was brutal, suggested his players feel strongly in favour of his legacy.
The gap between Saracens and the rest of the Premiership remains at 18, but the odds are still in favour of them making it up, as the usual clutch of teams separated from each other by a handful of points squirm in discomfort above them. Worcester were squirming within a few minutes of kick-off.
