Worcester Warriors have been forced into two late changes for the Guinness Premiership clash with Sale Sharks at Edgeley Park on Friday night (kick-off 7.45pm).
Wing Miles Benjamin and scrum half Ryan Powell have both failed fitness tests and withdrawn from the game.
New Zealand ace Rico Gear will now start on the wing while Louis Silver will replace Powell on the replacements bench.
