Speaking after the match, head coach Matt Everard said Kvesic’s long-standing connection with the club didn’t inform his decision to name the 33-year-old captain, but it does add an extra element.
“Matt Kvesic is a brilliant bloke, brilliant leader, brilliant player,” Everard told Worcester News.
“Regardless of his previous connection with the club, I want him in my team, I want him to be a part of this club.
“The previous connection is just an added emotional connection for him, the fans and for all of us – it’s amazing.”
