Cavaliers set for Wasps clash

Worcester Cavaliers have named their side for Monday night’s final Premiership Rugby A League clash of the season against Wasps at Ivor Preece Field (kick-off 7.30pm).

Alafoti Faosiliva is named in the starting line-up alongside fellow first-team players Matt Cox, Simon Kerrod, Grayson Hart, Tom Howe and Sam Olver, while Tom Heathcote is among the replacements and could make his first appearance since missing out through concussion since September.

A young backline sees Nick David, Howe and Alex Hearle in the back three while Ollie Lawrence and captain Will Butler continue their centre partnership. Olver and Hart form the half-back combination.

In the pack, Kai Owen, Beck Cutting and Kerrod start in the front row while Ted Hill and James Scott get the nod in the second row.

Faosiliva, Cox and Tom Dodd start in the back row as Cavaliers look to back up last weekend’s emphatic 52-21 win over Sale Jets.
