TEAM NEWS | Warriors make two changes for trip to Oyonnax
Chris Pennell comes in at centre, while Simon Kerrod is given a start at tighthead as Warriors Head Coach Hogg keeps faith with the majority of the side which dispatched Oyonnax at Sixways last Saturday.
Ryan Bower will again captain the side from the front row alongside Kerrod and Joe Taufete’e, while Darren Barry and Pierce Phillips start in the second row.
David Denton continues at number eight and will be joined in the back row by Huw Taylor and Andrew Durutalo.
There is plenty of pace in the backline as Ben Howard retains his place at full-back, while Tom Howe – fresh from his two-try heroics at Sixways last Saturday – starts on the wing, as does Perry Humphreys on the opposite side.
Pennell will partner Max Stelling in midfield, with the latter looking for his tenth European try as he prepares to make his 22nd appearance in the competition.
Josh Adams comes onto the bench as Dean Hammond drops out of the squad after sustaining a head injury last time out.
