Worcester Warriors Dean Ryan fed up of relegation talk

Worcester Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan has spoken of his frustration at dealing with talk of relegation, despite picking up two wins from four games so far this season.

Ryan's recently-promoted side picked up a bonus-point win after defeating Newcastle Falcons 28-20 on Saturday.

"I am fed up of talking about relegation issues as I am sure [Newcastle director] Dean Richards is," Ryan told reporters.

"We have been competitive in all four matches, picking up 10 points, and we are frustrated that we don't have more. We shouldn't be judged on the past but where we are now.

"We are a very dangerous side and showed what we can do when everything goes right and I am not at all surprised that we picked up a bonus point by half time."
