Bath rout Worcester to end losing run
By Peter Hanson
Kahn Fotuali'i scored twice as six-try Bath returned to winning ways with a 46-25 rout of Worcester Warriors on Friday.
Todd Blackadder's men had lost their past three Premiership matches before the trip to Sixways to face lowly Worcester, but a second-half romp restored the winning feeling.
Ben Tapuai's try and eight points from the boot of Rhys Priestland helped Bath to a 13-6 lead at the break.
And the visitors exploded after the interval as Matt Garvey, Anthony Watson, James Phillips and Fotuali'i dotted down, with Dave Denton crossing for Worcester in between those tries.
James Phillips powered by four defenders to increase Bath's lead and Fotuali'i charged down a Worcester clearance to score his second after Joe Taufete'e had responded for Worcester.
Perry Humphreys added a late try for Worcester, but they remain second from bottom while Bath are fifth.

All I can say after reading this bitter, sour, sad piece is… Thank you very much! This will be read in the change room just before kick off on 31 August…
Go to commentsForget the 85kg bit, that can become something else. However I do like the one off test on ANZAC day idea. SR plays Fri/ Sat, test players travel Sunday and the squads have the full week together before playing Saturday. Rest of SR has a week off. Either involve women's teams in same location or in the other country and rotate annually. Herbert is right in that change is needed.
