Worcester Warriors have named a side brimming with young talent for tonight’s development clash with Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park (kick-off 7.30pm).
Rising star Chris Pennell is named at full back for Warriors Development side and Shaun Ruwers is named in the front row alongside Callum Black and Ben Gotting.
Gareth Morgan is handed a start at fly half with Nick Runciman named at scrum half as the young stars look to bounce back from the defeat to Bristol last Monday.
Tom Wood will captain the side in the back row where he is joined by James Collins and Matt Cox.
“It’s another opportunity to get some game time for the boys against what we expect to be good opposition at Exeter,” said Academy Manager Andrew Stanley.
“Hopefully it allows the players to put a run of form together to impress the senior coaches at the club.”
