Warriors name side for Melrose Sevens

Worcester Warriors will be taking a team to the Aberdeen Asset Management Melrose Sevens on Saturday for the first time.

The side includes three players with first-team experience as Ollie Hayes, Ben Howard and Richard de Carpentier all form part of the ten-man squad.

Academy youngsters Josh Buggea and Joe Nellany are also in the squad as Warriors play their first Sevens rugby since last summer’s JP Morgan event at Kingsholm.

Fellow Aviva Premiership side Saracens, who Warriors face at Allianz Park on Sunday, will also take a team to the tournament in search of Sevens glory.

French side Clermont Auvergne are also involved in the tournament as are India, a country where rugby is very much on the rise.

Warriors kick-off at 2.04pm against the winners of the match between Currie and Boroughmuir.
