Five tries evidence of Bath's attacking approach
Bath boss Steve Meehan insists his players will continue to play attacking ball-in-hand rugby despite the controversial law variations.
Several Guinness Premiership games so far this season have proved turgid affairs as clubs get to grips with an experimental International Rugby Board 12-month laws trial.
That has usually meant an excess of kicking the ball out of hand, as teams bid not to be pinged for free kick offences when in possession in their own half.
But Bath bucked the trend with a sparkling five-try demolition of Worcester, as they rediscovered their thrilling attacking rugby that underpinned last season's European Challenge Cup triumph.
Meehan said: "We must not be scared of going out and playing. We can't go into our shells, even if the ELVs can put you under a lot of pressure.
"I was delighted to see some action in our own 22 today - it was a bit like how we played last season.
"The rewards of such an approach over the course of a season will outweigh the risks.
Attacking brand
"It has taken us the best part of 18 months trying to develop an attacking brand of rugby, and we don't want to go into our shells."
Warriors rugby director Mike Ruddock added: "The final score hurts us, as does the fact Bath scored a number of tries.
"We've had some big battles recently against Leicester and Wasps, when we were very competitive.
"We were very competitive for long periods against Bath also, but we had the odd five minutes or so when we dropped our standards.
"Bath have got a lot of pace once they get in behind you. They are very difficult to stop."
Flanker James Collins and wing Rico Gear, who both missed the defeat by Bath, could be in contention for Worcester's home game against Harlequins next Thursday.
Ruddock admitted New Zealander Gear was "touch and go," but Warriors skipper Pat Sanderson, who has yet to play this season because of a leg muscle injury, could face another six weeks sidelined.
