Warriors Clinch Victory

Warriors 16 - 15 Perpignan

The Warriors clinched victory in this must win game thanks to a very late penalty try going in their favour. Neil Jenkins was left with a simple conversion from in front of the posts to seal a 1 point victory and leave the Warriors still in the hunt for a Quarter Final place. However, they will be relying on Perpignan beating Wasps next Sunday whilst they travel to Italy needing the maximum 5 points to have any hope of progressing to the knockout stages.
