Archive | News | Worcester Warriors | Official Site : Warriors name powerful team for Albion trip

Pat Sanderson will skipper the side at Brickfields with Gavin Quinnell and Tom Wood, fresh from his impressive showing in the Middlesex Sevens, also starting in the back row.

Craig Gillies will be joined by Phil Murphy in the second row with Tony Windo handed a starting shirt in the front row alongside Chris Fortey and Tevita Taumoepeau.

Rising star Chris Pennell is named at full back after grabbing four tries at Twickenham and Marcel Garvey will be looking to add to his try haul after a stunning display at the home of English rugby.

Worcester will be without all of their six summer signings. Samoan international Loki Crichton and Fijian Netani Talei are away on World Cup duty while Sam Tuitupou, Rico Gear and Greg Rawlinson will not join Warriors until later in the year. Shaun Ruwers is unavailable for selection.

Premiership Rugby today announced an extension of their partnership with the UK's largest insurance company, Aviva, for a further three years. The contract extension, which starts in the 2014-15 season, will cover a golden era for club rugby in England and will include a period when the country will host a Rugby World Cup and when rugby union will finally rejoin the Olympic movement.

Not only are the great and the good of the Aviva Premiership Rugby strutting their stuff at Twickenham this Saturday - so are the new generation of rugby players, including Worcester RFC, courtesy of the Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup.
