Pat Sanderson had 17 stitches in a mouth wound

Worcester Warriors' Head Coach Clive Griffiths has paid tribute to skipper Pat Sanderson during the European Challenge Cup semi-final win.

Sanderson played with 17 stitches in a mouth wound and while still feeling the effects of a dead leg sustained during an earlier match against Bath.

Griffiths told BBC Hereford and Worcester Sanderson led from the front in the win over Newcastle Falcons.

"He's indestructible at times, he passed himself fit, a great show."

Warriors will now play Bath in the final at Gloucester on Sunday 25 May with a 1200 BST kick off.
