OLLIE THORNLEY Gloucester wing v BRYCE HEEM Worcester wing

It was pace against power and the honours narrowly went to the speedster, Thorley, with his two well-taken tries. The Gloucester man was sharp throughout, chasing Willi Heinz’s box kicks with enthusiasm. It took 22 minutes for Heem to get his first touch and after a missed tackle on Jaco Kriel, he had a strong second half, troubling Warriors with his strength and scoring a try.
