Warriors opted to call for the tee from penalties twice in their 25-20 victory over Doncaster Knights, with Will Reed confidently dispatching one in each half.
The two penalties were just the fourth and fifth times that Warriors have chose to kick from penalties all season, across 16 Champ Rugby matches.

Reed successfully kicked a penalty in the season opener against Coventry, before Tiff Eden did the same in round two against Hartpury.
Reed again looked to kick home a penalty in early January away at Ealing Trailfinders, agonisingly hitting the post and missing out as Ealing claimed a one-point victory.
Explaining the decision to kick more often than in previous matches Matt Everard said if Warriors are performing well in getting out of their own half, they may opt to take the three points, with confidence they can do the same again.
“It is something me and Matt Kvesic have spoken about,” head coach Matt Everard revealed to the Worcester News, following the side’s home victory over Doncaster Knights.
“Those ones right in front of the posts, a decent kicking position.
“We spoke about if we are getting out of our end really well through our kicking game and our kick chase, then let’s back ourselves to take the points and be able to repeat that process again.
