Mills kicks Worcester to shock win over Saracens
By Christopher Devine
Worcester Warriors gave their survival hopes a major shot in the arm with a shock victory over reigning Premiership champions Saracens on Saturday.
Although Sarries were missing a host of key players due to Six Nations commitments, they would still have been expected to triumph at Sixways.
However, eight penalties from Ryan Mills enabled Worcester to prevail 24-18 - denying their visitors the chance to replace Wasps at the top of the table.
Chris Ashton and Schalk Brits each touched down for Saracens and a late Ben Spencer penalty earned the consolation of a losing bonus point.
Worcester's third win of the season sees them close the gap to 10th-placed Sale Sharks to six points.
AND IT'S GAME OVER!!!!! WARRIORS BEAT THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!

Saturday's other Premiership fixture saw Leicester Tigers move into the top six with an emphatic 34-9 success against Gloucester.
Leicester were 17-3 up inside 24 minutes, despite losing Freddie Burns early on to a head injury, and never looked likely to be pegged back thereafter.

Of course they can all sing and do what they want. But it seems weird that the England fans have adopted a slave song from the states as 'their own culture'.
