Archive | News | Worcester Warriors | Official Site : Awesome foursome back for Bourgoin

Worcester Warriors welcome back Pat Sanderson, Greg Rawlinson, Dale Rasmussen and Ryan Powell to the starting line-up for the European Challenge Cup semi-final clash with Bourgoin on Saturday (kick-off 12.30pm UK time).

The quartet were left out of the recent Guinness Premiership clash with London Irish. However, they have now been declared fit as Warriors make a return to France for a last four shootout at the Stade Pierre Rajon.

Loki Crichton is ruled out of the game with a knee ligament injury and so Rico Gear moves to full back with Rasmussen coming in at inside centre to partner Alex Grove.

Hooker Aleki Lutui is handed a start in the front row alongside Callum Black and Darren Morris while Rawlinson will be joined by Graham Kitchener in the second row.

Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock names Matt Powell among the replacements while home-grown stars Greg King and Michael Penn are also on the bench.
