TEAM NEWS | Alo starts for Warriors against champions

Biyi

Warriors have made just one change to the starting line-up ahead of this Friday’s Aviva Premiership battle with reigning champions Exeter Chiefs (kick-off 7.45pm).

 

Tighthead Biyi Alo, who crossed the whitewash after coming on as a replacement in the first minute of last weekend’s clash with Wasps, starts in the front row next to Ryan Bower and Jack Singleton.

Alo replaces Nick Schonert who is sidelined with a lengthy ankle injury while Pierce Phillips keeps his place in the second row alongside skipper Donncha O’Callaghan.

Matt Cox, Sam Lewis and GJ van Velze occupy the back row once again while Jonny Arr and Tom Heathcote form the half-back pairing.

Ben Te’o and Jackson Willison start in midfield while the pacey back three of Bryce Heem, Perry Humphreys and Josh Adams will look to cause the Chiefs a headache on Friday night under the lights of Sixways.

Tighthead Gareth Milasinovich returns to the squad following a hamstring injury and could make his first appearance of the campaign from the replacements bench.
