WORCESTER Warriors have made six changes ahead of the club’s trip to Ampthill with the Sixways side currently on a four-game losing run.
Warriors take on Ampthill for the third time this season after winning 56-28 in the reverse fixture at Sixways and also triumphing on the road at Dillingham Park in pre-season.
Matt Everard makes four changes to his forward pack with Leicester loanee Cam Miell and Fraser Balmain coming into partner Austin Wallis in the front row.
James Tyas comes into the second-row, where he starts alongside Hallam Chapman with the final change seeing Thabo Ndimande start at flanker, shifting Matt Kvesic to number eight with ever-present Tim Anstee rounding off the pack in the six shirt.
Will Lane starts at scrum-half, where he partners Will Reed at fly-half, with the centre partnership of Rory Taylor and Tom Hendrickson remaining unchanged.
The final change to the starting line-up sees Uruguayan Juan González come in to start on the wing, with Josh Bassett and also Will Trewin, completing the back three.
Archie Vanes could make his competitive Warriors debut off the bench, with second-row Tom Golder also set for a first appearance since coming off the bench against London Scottish in October.
Vanes and Golder are joined on the bench by Livai Natave, Tim Hoyt, Obinna Nkwocha, Jake Garside, Tiff Eden, and last week’s debutant Siva Naulago.
Worcester travel to Ampthill on Saturday, January 30 with kick-off at 1.30pm at Dillingham Park.
