Hewat keeps slotting them

London Irish maintained their unbeaten Guinness Premiership run when they edged the Worcester Warriors thanks to the boot of Australian import Peter Hewat. Report courtesy www.rugby .com Hewat kicked points as London Irish survived a second half fightback from Worcester. The year old fullback kicked three first half penalties and then added a drop goal just after the break to put the Irish to set up the win for the Exiles. After crossing the line for the only try of the match in the first half through New Zealand wing Rico Gear Worcester hit back in the second through penalties from Loki Crichton and replacement Shane Drahm to bring the game to within one point. And despite some ferocious late pressure Brian Smith s men hung on for their sixth straight win which sends the Exiles up to sixth in the table. Worcester remain rooted in their relegation dogfight with Leeds and were once again made to pay for their indiscipline. Twice in the opening stages they conceded needless pe! nalties but they were not to pay as Delon Armitage on his th appearance for Irish missed both kicks. But when referee Rob Debney penalised the home side for crossing the kicking duties changed hands. This time Hewat stepped up and made no mistake to give the Exiles a th minute lead and that was doubled after Drew Hickey spoke out of turn to referee. After minutes Warriors roared back into the game with a Gear try in the corner following a strong rolling maul and some good interplay with left wing Miles Benjamin. But Crichton missed the conversion and Hewat extended Irish s advantage to four points with another penalty after Worcester had been penalised for collapsing a scrum. London Irish started the second half by stealing a Warriors line out and Hewat slotted a drop goal. The Warriors comeback began when Mike Catt dwelt on his clearance which allowed Kai Horstmann to charge the ball down and although Irish secured the ball they were penalised for not releasing and Crichto! n pulled the score back to . Hewat could have given Irish some breathing space but blotted his copybook by missing a penalty after Tevita Taumoepeau had been spotted coming in at the side. Warriors replacement flyhalf Drahm went straight into the action after coming on for Crichton slotting a metre penalty after Irish had strayed offside. There was a let off for Drahm as his wild inside pass flew straight to Richard Skuse who surged to the Warriors line before knocking on. In the last minute Marcel Garvey won Worcester a line out when his kick through was carried into touch. Warriors won the line out and staged a late rally but the Irish defence held firm leaving the hosts to settle for a losing bonus point The scorers For Worcester Warriors Try Gear Pens Crichton Drahm For London Irish Pens Hewat DG Hewat The teams Worcester Warriors Thinus Delport Rico Gear Dale Rasmussen Sam Tuitupou Miles Benjamin Loki Crichton Matt Powell Kai Horstmann Pat Sanderson captain Drew Hickey Craig Gillies Greg Rawlinson Tevita Taumoepeau Aleki Lutui Tony Windo.!

Today was a complete loss, but that's how it is. I can't be bothered with anything. Such is life. I've more or less been doing nothing to speak of. I just don't have anything to say. I feel like a bunch of nothing.
