7 Willison – Lively in attack and threw the try-scoring pass for Cooper Vuna’s first-half touchdown. Moved into midfield when Perry Humphreys replaced Ben Te’o.

7 Hammond – Is growing in confidence with each match. Made a couple of nice breaks and worked hard in defence. Joined the scrum after the dismissal of Alafoti Fa’osiliva.

8 Olivier – Produced a try-saving tackle on Charlie Sharples as Gloucester threatened to overrun Warriors in the early stages. His hard work often goes unnoticed.

7 Te'o – Used his power to score Warriors’ maiden Premiership try on the new artificial pitch but took a bang on the head and didn’t appear for the second half.

7 Vuna – A much improved all-round showing from the wing. Took his try confidently and looked composed in his defensive duties.

7 Lamb – A mixed bag from the fly-half. Missed a couple of kicks to touch and struck a post with a shot at goal but was superb with ball in hand.

7 Arr – Made a sniping break for Warriors’ opening try and was a calming influence when the hosts came under pressure.

8 Ruskin – Won several important turnovers and scrummaged strongly as Worcester dominated those exchanges. He dropped the ball a couple of times in contact.

7 Annett – Always plays with his heart on his sleeve. Warriors’ line-out was a bit patchy but the wind might have caused him a few problems.

8 Johnston – Without a doubt his best performance in a Warriors shirt. Was a rock in the scrum and energetic around the field.

8 O'Callaghan – Had a point to prove after being recalled to the squad and gave his all. Conceded a couple of penalties but always plays on the edge.

7 Barry – Another decent display from the former Cornish Pirate who claimed a couple of restarts under pressure.

6 Fa’osiliva – Added raw aggression to Warriors’ back row and looked good with ball in hand until he allegedly used his arm to charge and was sent off.

9 MAMA – Has started the new campaign with a bang. Was strong in defence and dynamic in attack. Warriors’ man of the match.

8 Dowson – Captained Warriors and did a splendid job in rallying the troops and getting his side on the front foot from the number eight position.
