Leeds Carnegie grabbed a draw at fellow Premiership strugglers Worcester but still look odds-on for relegation.

All the points came in the first half, with Leeds scoring a try through prop Mike MacDonald after eight minutes, Alberto Di Bernardo adding the extras.

Worcester went in front with tries from Aleki Lutui and Miles Benjamin before a Di Bernardo penalty levelled the match.

Leeds had to withstand a late Worcester onslaught, but the Headingley outfit remain 14 points adrift at the bottom.

"It was an opportunity we had that we let slip away. We dominated possession and territory and could not finish the game off.

"The last two games we set certain standards and showed we could be right up there with the big boys.

"With all due respect to Leeds, we felt we had made enough improvements to put them away.

"Having said that, to a man they tackled superbly and never gave up. They had the start they wanted and it made it difficult for us when they went 7-0 up."

"To put that amount of effort in typifies what we are about. If you put that amount of character, spirit and courage in, you can build on it. They are the building blocks of a side.

"Ultimately, we need to win games. It will never be over until it is mathematically impossible and, even then, we have to look where we are.

"We are very much a young team and are a year and a half into our existence.

"We come up against sides like Worcester, who have been together for three or four years and are adding quality players on a regular basis.

"They and all the other sides in the Premiership are established while we are having to learn as we go, improve and learn from experiences."
