Bath Rugby have announced the team that will tackle Worcester Warriors at Sixways Stadium on Friday night (kick-off 8pm).
“We are looking forward to getting back playing Guinness Premiership matches,” admitted skills and defence coach Brad Davis. “We are not comfortable in the position we find ourselves in at the moment in the table so we will be looking to start moving up.”
“What I believe we have shown in the last few weeks is a lot of spirit and character and hopefully that will hold us in good stead. We are under no illusion that playing Worcester on a Friday night at Sixways is a pretty daunting task.
“Having made put in such a strong performance over the previous two matches young player Ben Williams has managed to retain his starting position and Scott Hobson, Mark Lilley and Paul Roberts are on the bench.
“What the young guys have demonstrated is their level of desire,” said Davis. “They have definitely given us a few selection headaches which is a good thing and is also testament to how hard they have worked.”
