Warriors name side for Champ Final

Worcester Warriors have named an unchanged starting fifteen to take on Bedford Blues in the Elior Champ Rugby Final.

Bedford won the two meetings between the sides in the regular season, winning by 14 points at Sixways in April and by 16 points at Goldington Road in December.

Billy Keast starts a sixth consecutive game at loose-head prop, partnering Austin Wallis and Fraser Balmain in the front-row.

Hallam Chapman starts for a 10^th game in a row in the four shirt with James Tyas partnering him in the second-row for a sixth consecutive game.

Hugh Bokenham continues at number eight with Australian Tim Anstee and captain Matt Kvesic rounding off the forwards at flanker.

Scrum-half Lloyd Williams will play the final game of his professional rugby career at scrum-half after announcing his retirement last week, with Will Reed again starting at fly-half.

In the centres, Billy Twelvetrees and Siva Naulago start again with Josh Bassett, Jake Garside and Louis Brown completing the starting fifteen in the back three.

There are four changes to the replacements with Jasper Spandler, Ashley Challenger, Obinna Nkwocha and Alfie Garside returning to the 23, joining Livai Natave, Thabo Ndimande, Will Lane and Tiff Eden.
