We will not rest stars - Ruddock

Ruddock was appointed Worcester Warriors coach in 2007

Worcester Warriors director of rugby Mike Ruddock will not rest any key players ahead of the LV= Cup game against Newcastle Falcons on Saturday.

The Warriors are looking for a win after a poor run of form has seen them lose four of their past five games.

"I think I will pick my best 23 guys, to build some momentum going into the next round of the Premiership," Ruddock told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I don't want us to lose in front of our home fans again."

He added: "We started well in the first block of Premiership games, but we have lost a bit of form in the last few games.

"I won't be looking to make loads of changes, but will look for some continuity building into the next block of Premiership games."

There will be full commentary on Worcester Warriors v Newcastle Falcons on Saturday, 7 November (1230 GMT) on BBC Hereford and Worcester on 104 fm and online.
