1). A win against immediate rivals

True, they got a bonus point but those three points gained on them and the four points gained over all inch us ever closer to safety. The match may have been a bit of a dog's breakfast, but forget it, move on.

2). Clegg's unmentionables of steel

To take that winning penalty. Both me and papa thought no chance from the moment he pointed to the posts and even as the ball was in the air. When the flags went up, woo-hoo! He's a callow and inexperienced player, but he looks to have the right temperament and that's half the battle.

3). Robshaw

MOTM without a shadow of a doubt. At the heart of everything good we produced and just shows that the inclusion of Worthless Joe over both him and S Armitage in the England pecking order is indicative of Johnson's conservative game plan.

4). The lineout

Still wobbly, but I've watched Gillies tear our lineout apart with much more ferocity than he managed today, so holding our own is a good thing.

THE BAD

1). Handling errors and basic skills

From both teams, utterly woeful. Anyone think that we'd have a prayer in the S14? Me neither. The amount of knock ons, general numbskullery and poor play on show was not something I am happy to watch week in, week out. You can see why both teams are where they are in the table.

2). Decision making

Terrible, awful, white line fever from the forwards, slow ball from the base of the ruck when we needed it quick, ignoring the backs in favour of short side flops from the fatties, Mike Brown's terrible chip and apparent dive near the end that handed Worcester a chance to hare up the field and attack, and when my wife is spotting Strettle in space screaming for the ball out wide and the players are ignoring him, you know we're a poor team. No wonder he wants out to a team that gives him some chances.

3). The scrum

Got a pasting, Ceri Jones was beasted by their no 3, we did well to cling in there. It seems odd how we can swing from utter dominance against Irish to looking wobbly as a plate full of jelly the next. Mind you, Wuss have a great scrum.

4). This whole horrid season

Let us please stay up and then consign the whole thing to the great dustbin marked "NEVER REPEAT AGAIN". However, reading the programme with the last day escape against Glaws, I feel we'll be here many times again.

In short, four points, job done, let us never speak of this again.
