Warriors will give starts to four of their summer signings in Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership match against London Irish at the Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 3pm), which will go ahead as scheduled.
Openside flanker Cameron Neild, who has arrived at Sixways from Sale Sharks, will have the honouring of captaining the side on his Warriors debut as Club Captain Ted Hill has been ruled out by a hamstring injury.
Russia international loosehead Valeriy Morozov and Italy hooker Hame Faiva, who have arrived from Bath Rugby and Benetton Rugby respectively, will pack down in the front row with Fergus Lee-Warner, who has joined from Western Force, making his Premiership debut at blindside flanker.
A fifth new signing, England and former Sale Sharks hooker Curtis Langdon, has been named among the replacements.
Billy Searle will start at fly-half in place of Fin Smith who suffered a broken jaw in a tackle in training, and Scotland and British Lions wing Duhan van der Merwe misses out because of a quadriceps injury.
Six members of Saturday’s side – Jamie Shillcock, Perry Humphreys, Francois Venter, Gareth Simpson, Joe Batley and Matt Kvesic – also started in the Premiership Rugby Cup final against London Irish in May on Warriors’ last visit to Brentford.
Six more members of the matchday squad – Ollie Lawrence, Alex Hearle, Murray McCallum, Andrew Kitchener, Rory Sutherland and Will Chudley – came off the bench in the final.
Before kick-off there will be a one-minute silence to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with all players and coaches wearing black armbands.
