Worcester Warriors have been forced into a late change ahead of this evening’s crunch Guinness Premiership clash with Newcastle Falcons at Sixways Stadium (kick-off 8pm).
Former New Zealand international lock Greg Rawlinson has been ruled out of the top-flight clash with a virus.
Warriors Academy product Graham Kitchener will now start the league game alongside Craig Gillies in the second row, with Will Bowley moving onto the replacements bench.
