Hill refused to blame the referee for his side's defeat.

Head coach Richard Hill is contemplating changes to the Worcester Warriors starting line-up for the home game against Nottingham on Friday.

Hill was far from happy after the Warriors lost their unbeaten record 21-23 at home to Cornish Pirates.

Hill told BBC Hereford and Worcester: "There were clearly some performances that weren't good enough.

"I can't blame anybody in particular, I will have to look at the whole lot and make a decision," he added.

"I stated that I would keep a steady side if players earned the jersey and kept playing well.

"If there was a lack of form there would be changes, if I felt that was the case.

"At the moment, I can't blame anybody in particular, it is a collective responsibility for that performance and we will sort it out for next week."

Hill refused to criticise referee Paul Knowles who received a lot of stick from the Sixways crowd.

"I have no complaints with him (the referee). I went in the dressing room and thanked him.

"He was under pressure with the home crowd, but he can't be blamed for us losing."
