Hooker Chris Fortey will once again captain Worcester Warriors A as they travel to near neighbours Northampton Wanderers in the Aviva A League tonight (kick-off 7.00pm).
Prop Oliver Tomaszczyk is again handed a start following last week’s impressive show by the team in the narrow defeat to Leeds A. Sean McCarthy is also named in the front row while Matt Kvesic moves to Number Eight.
Spanish wing Oriol Ripol will feature in the back division and Willie Walker will again get more game time as he looks to push a senior call-up from Head Coach Richard Hill.
Locks Will Betts and James Clutterbuck and back row James Rodley are guest players in the forwards but there is no place yet for the injured Pat Sanderson following a rib injury.
