TEAM NEWS | Four Warriors changes for season finale

Donncha O’Callaghan is recalled to the starting line-up as captain in the second row in place of the injured Chris Vui, while Phil Dowson will make his final Warriors appearance before retiring.

Dowson steps in for Players’ and Coaches’ Player of the Season Sam Lewis who has a nose injury, as the 35-year-old gets set for his final appearance before hanging up his boots to take up a career in coaching with Northampton Saints.

He will also become the Premiership’s joint-second appearance-maker of all time when he steps out for his 262nd appearance in the top flight.

In the front row, loosehead Ryan Bower starts in place of the suspended Val Rapava Ruskin while young tighthead Gareth Milasinovich is also given the nod.

Cooper Vuna, Ryan Lamb and Ryan Grant are named on the bench in what could be their final appearances for the Club before they depart this summer.

Warriors are chasing a first Premiership win over the Tigers since 2008.
