Preview: Worcester Warriors v Bristol Rugby

In the opening leg, in front of over 12,000 supporters at Ashton Gate, the Warriors edged a pulsating contest as replacement hooker Niall Annett squeezed over for an eightieth try to seal a 28-29 win.

Tries from David Lemi (2) and Mitch Eadie, together with ten points from the boot of Gavin Henson and a Nicky Robinson penalty, had seen Bristol lead 28-22 with seconds left on the clock – but Annett powered over from close range and Ryan Lamb slotted home the conversion, to earn a dramatic win for Worcester.

The last time these two sides met at Sixways – on the final day of the regular campaign – Bristol inflicted Worcester’s first home defeat of the season, sealing a 30-26 victory to confirm top spot.

The winner of Wednesday's clash will earn a place in the Aviva Premiership for the 2015/16 season.
