Worcester Warriors have announced that Pat Sanderson will again captain the Sixways club next season.

Mike Ruddock told BBC Hereford and Worcester the news is a boost before the European Challenge Cup final.

"He has proven himself a fantastic leader and the fact that he has captained Warriors and been an England skipper only highlights his quality.

"There's no doubt that having Pat Sanderson as captain will give us every opportunity to achieve our goals."
