LATE SHOW DELIGHTS SOLOMONS

-

ALAN SOLOMONS hailed his Worcester side after they stunned Leicester at Welford Road to record their first Premiershi­p win of the season.

Solomons’ men looked in cruise control when they led 30-11 at half-time, then 37-11 midway through the second half.

However, the Tigers hit back to level the game in the 76th minute, only for 19-year-old Ted Hill – on his debut, having progressed through Worcester’s academy – to score in the corner and steal the win for the visitors.

Worcester director of rugby Solomons (right) said: “It was absolutely unbelievab­le.

“Before the game, we spoke about playing to our potential and being the best we can be. The side did that out there today. We made an unbelievab­le start. We have some talented players, but we haven’t been finishing our chances. We did today. There’s a never-say-die attitude about us. It was an incredible performanc­e. They deserved it.”
