Goode and Best set to make debuts

Fly half star Andy Goode and back row ace Neil Best are both set to make Worcester Warriors debuts after being named in the starting line-up for the pre-season encounter against Magners League giants Llanelli Scarlets on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).

Summer signings Goode and Best will play their first competitive game for Richard Hill’s men at Parc y Scarlets as Worcester prepare for the final game of the pre-season schedule.

The England and Ireland internationals are joined in the half backs by fellow newcomer Andy Williams, who is handed his full debut after an impressive cameo appearance in the 45-10 win over Newport Gwent Dragons in midweek.

Rob Higgitt is named captain for the afternoon against his former side.
