7 Adams – The versatile back looked composed in the number 15 jersey and provided a spark in attack. Hauled down a metre short of the line in the second half.

6 Howard – After a slow start, the returning Howard became more involved and provided the final offload for Dean Hammond’s try.

7 Stelling – The centre sped through a gap in Dragons’ defence for a thrilling second-half try which delivered the knockout blow.

7 Mills – Marked his return after a two-week ban with the captaincy and gave an assured display in midfield.

7 Hammond – A try-scoring showing from the wing, who was a threat in attack.

8 Braid – A promising debut from the fly-half who kicked intelligently out of hand. Slotted four conversions but missed a penalty.

7 De Cothi – Played the full 80 minutes. Was accurate with his passing and kicked sensibly.

8 Rapava Ruskin – The sole survivor from Warriors’ starting line-up against Wasps and led from the front. Scored Worcester’s first try.

7 Singleton – Added his power to Warriors’ front five and had an improved afternoon in the line-out after his baptism of fire at Exeter.

8 Alo – The prop continues to improve and is fast becoming a fans’ favourite at Sixways. His strength caused problems for the Dragons.

8 Spencer – Didn’t disappoint on his long-awaited debut and made a couple of strong carries before he was replaced on the hour.

7 Scotland-Williamson – Yellow-carded for a trip in the first half but formed a strong second row combination with Spencer.

6 Betty – Sin-binned for a no-arms clear out after 10 minutes. A bit rusty.
