Carys Cox scored a hat-trick as Worcester secured their place in the fifth place final of the Allianz Cup.
The hosts got off to the best start when Evelyn Clarke raced over. It got even better when they had a second inside ten minutes when some strong handling fed Cox to cross the line.

Jo Yapp’s side were in dreamland when they added a third through hooker Carmen Tremelling. The Sharks responded with a try of their own via Ellen Ramsbottom, but the hosts led 17-7 midway through the half.

Worcester had time...
