Academy Manager Andrew Stanley praised the brand of rugby produced by Worcester Cavaliers as they opened the new Aviva A League season with a convincing 56-10 victory over Leeds Carnegie A on Monday night.
Tom Arscott and Chris Pennell both grabbed a try brace while Josh Drauniniu, Andy Short, Will Radburn and Nile Dacres all crossed the whitewash at West Park.
Stanley was delighted to see his squad start the Northern Conference in such dominant fashion and now looked ahead to a difficult away trip to Northampton Wanderers at Franklin’s Gardens next Monday.
“We were pleased with the brand of rugby we played in such a strong wind that could have impacted on our game,” said Stan.
“We played into the wind in the first half and made sure we kept ball in hand. Throughout the half we were able to build pressure and had some really good continuity between forwards and backs to gain the bonus point by half time.
“The backs produced some very exciting rugby and in the second half we were able to use the entire bench and give the whole squad and some of our younger players valuable game time.
“It’s important to start the season with a victory and we now turn our attention to Northampton and a very difficult test next Monday that all the squad is keen to be involved in.”
