Archive | News | Worcester Warriors | Official Site : Warrior Morris to start Irish clash

Prop Darren Morris will start for Worcester Warriors when they tackle London Irish in the Guinness Premiership at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday (kick-off 1pm).

Morris is handed his second league start of the season and replaces Tongan ace Tevita Taumoepeau who is ruled out of the clash with a shoulder injury.

Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock makes a total of three changes to his starting line-up for the crunch league clash.

Ryan Powell is handed a start at scrum half and Hal Luscombe returns in the centre. Academy product Alex Grove is not considered for selection this week due to a stinger injury picked up against Northampton Saints.

Youngsters Callum Black and Jonny Arr are named amongst the replacements for the trip to Reading.
