Loosehead prop Ben Murphy will make his debut for Warriors Under-18s in their final Premiership Rugby Under-18s Academy League match against Sale Sharks at Sixways on Saturday (kick-off 1pm).
Murphy, of King Edward VI, Five Ways in Birmingham, starts as one of two changes to the side that was selected to play Leicester Tigers last week.
That match was cancelled because of a frozen surface on the turf A&H Pitch at Sixways and will not be replayed. Each side has been awarded two points.
Warriors’ other change for Sale’s visit sees Paul Wells return in the centre in place of Sebastian Atkinson.
Jack Goodwin and Harry Mitcham return to the squad among the replacements.
