Warriors name side to take on Cardiff at Sixways

Worcester Warriors have named a twenty-seven-man squad for the return to Sixways in a second pre-season encounter against URC Cardiff.

Tom Seabrook returns from injury for the first time since December 2025 to line up in the centres where he partners Siva Naulago.

Will Lane starts again at scrum-half with Will Reed alongside him at fly-half.

Rounding off the backline are Roma Zheng and Jake Garside on the wings with Louis Brown at full-back.

In the forwards, Cam Miell and Austin Wallis join Fraser Balmain in the front row, with Tom Savage captaining the side again from the second row alongside John Hawkins.

Hallam Chapman moves from the second-row to number eight, with James Cherry and Tim Anstee completing the starting line-up at flanker.

Moving onto the bench, Owain Evans makes his first appearance of pre-season with the rest of the squad made up of Jack Dickinson, Finn Haynes, Ash Challenger, Will Owen, Noah Cowan, Zach Armstrong,  Billy Twelvetrees, Alfie Garside, Jack Hopson, Will Trewin and Rory Taylor.

After sustaining injuries against Ampthill, Charlie Chapman and Tiff Eden have seen specialists this week, with a full injury update coming ahead of the start of the Champ season.
