Several Guinness Premiership games so far this season have proved turgid affairs as clubs get to grips with an experimental International Rugby Board 12-month laws trial. But Bath bucked the trend with a sparkling five-try, 37-19 demolition of Worcester as they rediscovered their thrilling attacking rugby that underpinned last season's European Challenge Cup triumph.

Meehan said: "We must not be scared of going out and playing. We can't go into our shells, even if the ELVs can put you under a lot of pressure."

He added: "I was delighted to see some action in our own 22 - it was a bit like how we played last season.

"The rewards of such an approach over the course of a season will outweigh the risks.

"It has taken us the best part of 18 months trying to develop an attacking brand of rugby, and we don't want to go into our shells."

Worcester rugby director Mike Ruddock said: "The final score hurts us, as does the fact Bath scored a number of tries.

"We've had some big battles recently against Leicester and Wasps, when we were very competitive.

"We were very competitive for long periods against Bath also, but we had the odd five minutes or so when we dropped our standards.

"Bath have got a lot of pace once they get in behind you. They are very difficult to stop."
