HEAD coach Carl Hogg faces a four-week distraction from the pressures of the Premiership now, as his side face two games apiece in the European Challenge Cup and Anglo-Welsh Cup.
First up, a trip to France tomorrow to take on Brive in what is – as far as Warriors are concerned – a dead rubber, as they are all but mathematically eliminated.
But the match is still of vital importance to Hogg, who announced this week he will be taking a more ‘hands on’ approach in the competition alongside backs coach Sam Vesty, as the Scotsman desperately wants to get a win to build confidence and momentum in the Worcester camp.
But what will it take to turn the club’s recent poor run of form round?
And what does he make of tomorrow’s French opponents?
