Warriors have made five changes to their starting line-up for their Gallagher Premiership match against Bristol Bears at Sixways on Sunday (kick-off 3pm).
Winger Bryce Heem, centre Francois Venter, tighthead prop Nick Schonert and openside flanker Sam Lewis have all recovered from injuries which ruled them out of last week’s clash with Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park.
Heem returns from a groin strain, Venter has overcome a collarbone injury and Scotland international Duncan Weir – who was an unused replacement last week – returns to the starting line-up in the third change to the back division.
Schonert returns in the front row following his recovery from a dead leg and Lewis, who has overcome a hip injury, is named in a re-jigged back row. Marco Mama, who played at openside last week, switches to blindside against his former club.
Lock Pierce Phillips is fit again after a dislocated thumb forced him to miss the Exeter trip. He takes his place on the replacements’ bench alongside Ted Hill – who has scored three tries in two Premiership appearances – Jono Lance and Perry Humphreys, who all started last week.
