    • Worcester
    • 80' FULL TIME Newcastle move up to sixth in the table after a thoroughly forgettable 14-3 victory over Worcester.
    • 75' PENALTY Newcastle extend their lead to 11 points and that should be enough of a cushion to see out the least 5 minutes.
    • 70' Going into the last 10 minutes the game is starting lose it's shape and if Newcastle get the next score it should give them the win.
    • 62' PENALTY Worcester get their first points of afternoon from Walker's boot.
    • 50' PENALTY The second half has started how the first finished with Newcastle dominating territory and possession. The pressure leads to a second Gopparth penalty
    • 46' The Falcons scrum is still in complete control as Hyman gets another penalty out of his opposite number Callum Black but it's outside Gopparth's range.
    • 40' The second half has kicked off and Newcastle will be hoping they can continue their dominance.
    • 40' HALF TIME Newcastle go in 8 points to the good and in total control at the moment playing nearly all of the first 40 minutes in the Worcester half.
    • 35' The wind is playing havoc here as a good looking Wilie Walker touch finder gets caught in a gust and goes dead for a scrum back.
    • 29' PENALTY Some consolidated pressure from Newcastle leads to a Gopparth penalty. Falcons take a deserved 8-0 lead.
    • 20' Micky Young fails to hold onto an inside pass from Vickerman for what would have been a certain try. Newcastle have completely dominated the first 20 minutes.
    • 17' There is a very strong wind at Kingston Park and it will be a difficult day for the goal kickers.
    • 15' The Newcastle pack's dominance shows as Rob Vickers forces his way over from close range. Gopparth misses the kick.
    • 10' The Newcastle scrum, led by All Black legend Carl Hyman, is looking unstoppable. The Falcons forwards are creating a great platform for their backs.
    • 1' We are underway at Kingston Park as Newcastle try to build on their great bonus point victory last week.
    • - WORCESTER ONE TO WATCH Nearly all Worcester's points this season have come from Willie Walker kick. The 31 year old Kiwi is third top point scorer with the boot but given the embarrassment of attacking riches outside him, with the likes of Miles Benjamin, Rico Gear, Sam Tuitupou and Chris Latham, if he can also find a way to get them into the game it will be a torrid afternoon for the Falcons defence.
    • - WORCESTER TEAM NEWS Also only two changes for the Warriors as Jake Abbott (backrow) and Callum Black's (prop) good form is rewarded with their first starts of the season.
    • - NEWCASTLE ONE TO WATCH Charlie Amesbury opened his premiership account last week with an impressive brace against Bath. He showed both pace and power to claim his two tries and he'll need to be on form again as he lines up against All Black Rico Gear.
    • - NEWCASTLE TEAM NEWS Only two changes for the home side as Alex Tait returns from injury to reclaim his place at full back so Charlie Amesbury moves to wing. In the pack Filipo Levi recovers from illness to start at No.8.
    • - Welcome to our Eurosport LIVE coverage of Newcastle vs Leeds at Kingston Park. The Falcons will be full of confidence following a sensational bonus point win away at Bath last week where as Worcester have lost their last four premiership matches.
