Speedster Havili crossed the whitewash in devastating fashion with Gavin Quinnell, Uche Oduoza, Tim Collier, Jake Abbott and Phil Murphy all crossing in an eight try show.

An impressive crowd of 1,410 braved the arctic conditions to watch the Warriors in action as Monday night rugby returned with a bang with a ten-try thrill a minute clash.

The result saw Worcester keep the pressure on Northampton at the top of the Northern Conference to the delight of Academy boss Andrew Stanley.

“It was a nice way to finish the year off,” he said. “The boys worked very hard to rectify the loss that we incurred up at Newcastle. The boys who were involved then spoke before the game and endorsed the way we wanted to approach the game.

“We wanted to be patient and look after the ball and we managed that for long periods of the game and reaped the rewards.

“Newcastle were a strong side and they caused us problems in attack so we are very happy to win and claim the try bonus.

“It was also very nice to see so many people out to watch on such a cold evening, that support really lifted the boys so we thank them for that support.”

Warriors named a power-packed side crammed full of first team stars for the clash at an icy Sixways Stadium.

But it was the visitors who struck first when creative winger Ollie Phillips – who had impressed against Warriors in the Middlesex Sevens at the start of the season - chipped over the top and collected before flicking wide to Tom Dillon who dived over for the first points of the evening.

Worcester hit back with a spell of possession but any impetus was lost after a break from Ed Williamson after he had stripped the ball from Joe Carlisle in the tackle.

Soon Warriors were banging on the door as Mark Tucker and Gavin Quinnell were both dragged up just short. Carlisle danced his way close as the ball was kept alive before it was spun left and Quinnell this time made no mistake as he crashed over. Carlisle split the posts with the conversion to edge the home side ahead.

Warriors were now clicking into gear with Carlisle’s disguised inside pass to James Collins breaking the line and Paula Havea making yards with a thundering hand-off.

It was only a matter of time before more points as slick hands from young centre Greg Evans freed Thinus Delport and he drew the final man before releasing Aisea Havili to cruise over. Carlisle was unlucky with the extras as his kick stuck the post.

The forwards were enjoying the challenge as they flexed their muscle in the scrum to push Newcastle back and allow wing Uche Oduoza to exploit space wide right and grab try number three on 18 minutes. Carlisle hit the conversion straight through the middle for a commanding 19-5 lead.

Warriors were now disrupting lineout ball with Collins stealing ball and winning back possession for the rampant home team.

Delport nearly collected his kick and chase before Tucker sent the visiting full back in touch. The lineout was cleanly taken and the forwards then took the ball on before numbers paid out wide and Havili darted over for his second try of the evening.

Carlisle’s booming boot was putting the Falcons under constant pressure as the visitors struggled to get out of their own half for long periods and were starved of any ball.

Another clean lineout win by Murphy saw his lock partner Tim Collier grab the bonus point just a minute after the half hour as he was bulldozed over by the forwards. Carlisle made no mistake with the extras on offer.

Falcons responded with a well worked try from Steve Jones that he converted himself but Warriors led 31-12 at the interval.

The home side were straight on the front foot after the break when Collins stole lineout ball and the forwards surged forward. Newcastle’s cause was not helped when they lost Williamson to the sin bin when he dragged down a rolling maul.

Former Falcons fly half Loki Crichton entered the action five minutes after the restart as Warriors bashed on the door with Jake Abbott and Callum Black also introduced.

And it was young back row Abbott who was the fifth Warrior to cross the whitewash after the forwards again showed their power by rumbling over. Crichton added the extras for a 38-12 advantage.

Three minutes later Havili crossed for his treble after the touch judged awarded the try in bizarre fashion when it appeared he had come up short.

Replacement Micky Young grabbed the the tenth try of the night when he breached the Worcester defence with a darting run.

Delport came agonisingly close with a late charge but the home side were not to be denied a fitting finale with Murphy powering over from close range with Crichton’s conversion for the half century hitting the post and bouncing clear.
