Press Conference Notes – 07.11.17

Press Conference Update

Sam Vesty will be heading up Warriors ahead of this Sunday’s Anglo-Welsh Cup clash against Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop (kick-off 3pm).

The Warriors Backs Coach spoke to the media today. Here are the key points from the press conference:

  • Vesty believes Harlequins will be a strong side and play with a fast tempo.
  • Quins’ A League side are second in the Southern Conference in the Premiership Rugby A League so they have a good young group.
  • Warriors plan to use a similar squad to the one that played Sale Sharks but there will be some changes.
  • New signing Kurt Haupt is expected to feature against Quins for his Warriors debut.
  • Tom Heathcote and Jonny Arr are both out with concussion and are due to see specialists today.
  • Francois Hougaard and Ryan Mills are a couple of weeks away from returning. Francois is doing bits with the team and is looking sharp.
