Worcester Warriors have named a powerful team for tonight’s A League fixture with Northampton Wanderers at Sixways Stadium (kick-off 7.30pm).
Former New Zealand international Rico Gear, wing speedster Marcel Garvey and fly half Matthew Jones are all set to start the Northern Conference game on home soil.
Chris Cracknell is named in the back row alongside James Collins, who will captain the team, and Matthew Cox.
Back row Netani Talei could also make his long awaited comeback after the Fijian, who has been out of action since November, was named among the replacements alongside Sam Tuitupou.
