Warriors Under-18s have made two changes to the side as they go in search of a third straight win in the Premiership Rugby Under-18 Academy League against Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park on Saturday (kick-off 2.30pm).
Warriors backed up an away win against Wasps with a thrilling late victory against Northampton Saints at Sixways last Saturday to move to fifth in the Northern Conference, five points behind leaders Sale Sharks but with a game in hand.
Jack Kinder, who started at full-back against Wasps and on the left wing against Northampton, switches to the centre this week where he will partner Will Pugh. Billy Emerick, who came off the bench last week, starts on the wing at Newcastle.
The other change is at hooker where Loic Keasey, who came off the bench at half-time against Northampton, starts.
Back-row forward Will Owen, who was a late withdrawal against Northampton, returns to the matchday squad as a replacement along with lock George Boyle and scrum-half Billy McDonough.
