FLY-HALF Tom Heathcote returns to the side as Warriors go in search of their first win of the 2016/17 Aviva Premiership against Newcastle Falcons on Sunday.
Heathcote is the only change to the Warriors starting XV which drew 34-34 with Sale Sharks last Saturday, ahead of Sunday’s clash at Sixways (kick-off 3pm).
In the club’s first two home games, Warriors have picked up five points courtesy of two draws, but will be looking to go one better against the Falcons who are coming off the back of an impressive 18-13 victory against Gloucester at Kingsholm.
Back row Matt Cox is named in Warriors’ replacements and could be set for his first appearance of the campaign if he features from the bench.
