Seven changes to Warriors side to host Pirates

Worcester Warriors make seven changes to their side to take on Cornish Pirates at Sixways tomorrow afternoon.

In the forwards, Will Biggs starts at hooker where he partners Billy Keast and Tim Hoyt in the front-row.

After returning from injury last weekend, James Tyas starts again in the second-row alongside the ever present Tim Anstee.

Khalik Kareem comes back into the starting line-up at number eight, shifting captain Matt Kvesic to blindside flanker with Thabo Ndimande rounding off the forward pack.

Lloyd Williams comes into the side at scrum-half where he partners Will Reed at 10.

There's a double change in the centres with Rory Taylor starting alongside debutant Tom Hendrickson.

In the back three, Louis Brown returns at full-back shifting Will Trewin to the wing with Juan González coming onto the the other wing for the final change.

Speaking ahead of the game, Trewin said “Really excited to get out there on Saturday, I think the ticket sales have been really good so it should be a cracker.”

“Pirates have been going well and I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone back at Sixways.”

On the bench, Fraser Balmain and Obinna Nkwocha return from injury and are set for their Warriors debuts.

Jasper Spandler, Cam Miell, Tom Cowan, Will Lane, Tiff Eden and Austin Wallis complete the 23.
