Newcastle Falcons have freshened up their squad for Saturday’s LV= Cup trip to Worcester and have made 12 changes from the side which was victorious at Kingston Park last weekend – including handing a first start to former Warriors Uche Oduoza.
Left wing Oduoza makes his Newcastle debut against his former club, with the England Sevens international having racked up the tries for the Falcons Development Team following his summer move from Japan.
Cumbrian Mark Wilson makes his debut on the openside flank, with the 20-year-old’s form for Blaydon and the Newcastle second-string earning him a call-up to the senior side.
England Under-20s fullback Tom Catterick is another drafted in for his maiden start after impressing from the bench in the recent win over Albi, with scrum half Hall Charlton captaining the Falcons for the Sixways clash (kick-off 12.30pm).
