Worcester Warriors have been forced into two late changes after both Rico Gear and James Brown were declared unfit for the Guinness Premiership clash with Sale Sharks on Friday (kick-off 7.45pm).
New Zealand wing Gear, who has scored eight tries in 11 games for Warriors, failed a fitness test on a hamstring injury and his place in the starting line-up is taken by Marcel Garvey.
Brown is also ruled out with a back problem and his position on the replacements bench is taken by Joe Carlisle. Chris Pennell moves up to the bench.
Fly half Shane Drahm returns to the starting line-up with Samoan international Loki Crichton ruled out. Centre Dale Rasmussen is fit to take his place in the side to face Sale.
