TEAM NEWS | Slowik set for Club debut in Oxford

Auguy Slowik will make his first appearance in Club colours when an experienced Worcester Cavaliers take on Oxford University at Iffley Road tonight (kick-off 7.30pm).

The 22-year-old will line-up on the wing after joining the Club from Bristol Rugby last week.

The match also sees a return to action for Ben Howard, who will start at full-back for his first appearance since pre-season.

In the forward pack, Ryan Bower is named at loosehead prop, while James Johnston gets a run-out at tighthead. Loughborough University’s Will Priesty will start at hooker.

Kailus Hutchinson will partner Wilham van der Sluys in the second row, while Huw Taylor will captain the side at number eight, alongside flankers Sam Ripper-Smith and Sam Lewis.
