Prop Tevita Taumoepeau is set to make his 100th appearance for Worcester Warriors when they face Petrarca Rugby in the European Challenge Cup at Sixways Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
Mike Ruddock has made six changes to his starting line-up with young fly half Joe Carlisle starting at fly half, with Eoghan Hickey having returned to London Irish, and joined at half back by Matt Powell.
Chris Pennell is ruled out for the season after rupturing his ACL in his left leg and so Charlie Fellows is named on the wing.
In the pack, Ruddock starts Aleki Lutui at hooker while Will Bowley and Matt Cox are also handed starting spots.
Lock Graham Kitchener is named on the replacements bench in his last game before joining up with England U20s and is joined by fit-again Loki Crichton and Darren Morris.
