Warriors make two changes for Caldy's visit to Sixways
Friday 20 February 2026
Worcester Warriors have made two changes to their side to take on Caldy at Sixways on Saturday.
The Warriors' away trip to Caldy saw a last-minute Jake Garside try complete a second-half comeback at Paton Field.
And Garside returns to the starting line-up for Saturday, lining up in a back three which once again includes Josh Bassett and Will Trewin.
Rory Taylor and Tom Hendrickson start together in the centres again, with Hendrickson making his 5th consecutive start.
The back-line is completed by Will Lane and Will Reed, who line up in the half-back shirts for the fourth game in a row.
Heading into the forwards, Livai Natave, Austin Wallis and Fraser Balmain line up in an unchanged front row.
The only change in the forward pack sees Hallam Chapman come into the second row, where he partners Obinna Nkwocha.
Tim Anstee, Thabo Ndimande and captain Matt Kvesic round out the starting XV in the back row.
On the bench, Louis Brown returns to a matchday squad for the first time since Worcester’s victory over Cornish Pirates in December.
Also returning to the bench are Archie Vanes, Callum Smyth and Tim Hoyt, with Hoyt returning after missing the last three.
The Warriors 23 is completed by James Tyas, Come Joussain, James Short and Roma Zheng.
