Brad Shields denied a try thanks to an excellent cover tackle by Francois Hougaard

England International Brad Shields was denied a try early on in Wasps victory over Worcester on Saturday thanks to this cover tackle by Springbok scrumhalf Francois Hougaard.

 

In the end, the try wouldn't have made much of a difference as Nathan Hughes scored a brace as Wasps edged away from the relegation battle by beating Worcester Warriors 28-16.


 

Winger Marcus Watson and prop Zurabi Zhvania added to Hughes' opener, with the Warriors - who remain three points clear of Newcastle - were unable to build on Sam Lewis' response before halftime.
