Skipper forced out of Leeds must-win

Worcester Warriors are forced into a late change ahead of the crunch Guinness Premiership clash with Leeds Carnegie after skipper Pat Sanderson failed a fitness test.

Sanderson is replaced in the back row by Chris Cracknell with James Collins called up to the replacements bench.

Ryan Powell is also forced out of the game through injury and his place on the bench is taken by Louis Silver.

Chris Latham is handed the captaincy for a game that Warriors must win to ensure their top-flight survival.
