Warriors call in ref for help with discipline
Harlequins director of rugby Dean Richards was frustrated that his side failed to kill off Worcester until the final quarter.
Quins led by only 12-8 with less than 20 minutes to go at the Stoop before going on to win 36-15.
But that was not good enough for the former England forward.
"We stood there wondering how they were so close to this, but if we were not creating opportunities I'd be really worried," he said.
"We played what we thought was the right brand of rugby. I didn't want us to get into a bit of an arm wrestle. I thought that would play into their hands.
"All we want to do is play to our level. It's not about cricket scores. Today would have been a great opportunity, but that opportunity may not happen again."
Spasm
According to Richards, England scrum-half Andy Gomarsall, who did not play because of a back spasm, should be available for England's visit to France next weekend.
Captain and number eight Nick Easter lasted until stoppage time after a late decision was made on him playing his first club game of 2008.
Easter, who spent six weeks out with a knee injury and came off in England's victory in Italy, was "carrying a little bit of a niggle", added Richards, "but came through it fine".
Struggling Worcester arec planning to call in a top referee for guidance after their latest Guinness Premiership defeat.
A week after the sin-binning of captain Pat Sanderson proved crucial at Saracens the Warriors had flanker Drew Hickey and centre Sam Tuitupou yellow-carded.
Discipline
Director of rugby Mike Ruddock said: "We've got to look at our defence and our discipline and we're probably at the stage where I'll get a top ref in and get the boys to look at a video.
"I've done it in the past and if I can do it this week I will, although we've got a short turnaround.
"I don't think it's desperation stakes. It's about doing everything we can. The intent is there, the ambition is there, the desire is there, but we killed ourselves.
"There are a lot of good things about the camp, but that's certainly our Achilles heel."
