WORCESTER Warriors have made three changes to their side ahead of facing Nottingham this weekend.
Warriors hand a first start since round one to former Nottingham player Come Joussain following his return from injury against London Scottish.
He partners James Tyas in the second-row, who also comes into start after featuring off the bench against Caldy.
The rest of the pack remains unchanged with Callum Smyth, Austin Wallis and Fraser Balmain all in the front row.
And Tim Anstee, Thabo Ndimande and Matt Kvesic all start in the back row for a fifth consecutive game.
Heading into the back-line, Will Reed and Will Lane continue their partnership at scrum-half and fly-half.
In the centres, Rory Taylor and Tom Hendrickson also start together again.
The final change to the starting XV sees Louis Brown return to a starting line-up for the first time since round nine.
Brown comes into the side at full-back which sees Will Trewin shift to the wing with Jake Garside completing the side.
On the bench, Ashley Challenger and Lewis Jones come onto the bench as forward options with Juan Gonzalez also returning to the 23-man squad.
Archie Vanes, Tim Hoyt, Obinna Nkwocha, James Short and Hallam Chapman complete the matchday squad.
Worcester travel to Nottingham on Friday, February 27 with kick-off at 7.45pm at Lady Bay Sports Ground.
