Shane Drahm starred in Worcester's victory over Leicester

Thinus Delport, Shane Drahm and Drew Hickey all played a part in the win against Leicester, but will be moving to Japan in the summer.

Ruddock believes all three have been superb and told BBC Hereford and Worcester: "They know they are leaving but have stepped up their game.

"That's a real testament to them as individuals and as team players."

Warriors' win over the Tigers and Leeds' defeat by Bristol means Worcester go into next Sunday's battle with the Yorkshire side knowing that victory will all but secure their Premiership future.
