Worcester Warriors slumped on their travels in France with a 29-14 defeat to Bourgoin in their European Challenge Cup Pool 3 clash.

Tries in either half from centre Alex Grove and hooker Aleki Lutui were not enough to lift the mood on a miserable night for Mike Ruddock's men, who remain one point clear at the top of the Pool

The Warriors had already won in Italy and Romania and despite All Black star Rico Gear returning from duty with the Barbarians they failed to claim a hat-trick of away successes.
