Pat Sanderson tells The Independent's Chris Hewett that bottom-of-the-table Worcester can still rescue a punishing season – starting with victory over Wasps.
"It may be tough at the top, but it's a fair bit tougher at the bottom.
"Ask Pat Sanderson, the one-time England back-row forward and occasional national captain, who in recent weeks has discovered the joys of playing high-level rugby while poking his tongue clean through a hole where part of his cheek had once been and experienced the pleasures of "triple stitching", a surgical technique that does what it says on the tin. "I cracked heads with Dale Rasmussen and the cut went right down to my skull," he reports, with a degree of gruesome relish. "I needed stitches on stitches ... on stitches. Still, I gave up on my face ages ago."
"Some people think he should give up on Worcester as well, but they might as well whistle at the moon."
