WORCESTER Warriors have made seven changes to their side ahead of the club’s return to action against Cambridge this weekend.
Warriors last took to the pitch against Nottingham at the end of February as Matt Everard’s tasted defeat in difficult conditions.
And Everard has changed almost half of his starting line-up for the club’s weekend fixture in response to the Nottingham defeat.
In the front row, loanee Cam Miell and Tim Hoyt return to the starting line-up, where they partner Austin Wallis, who has started every game of 2026.
Hallam Chapman comes into the second row after appearing off the bench against Nottingham, with Come Joussain lining up alongside him.
In the back row, Obinna Nkwocha starts at blindside flanker for the first time this season, shifting ever-present Tim Anstee to the seven shirt with captain Matt Kvesic completing the pack.
Heading into the backline, Jake Garside moves to scrum-half for his first start in the nine shirt since October.
Will Reed and Rory Taylor continue in the 10 and 12 shirts, with James Short coming into start in the centres alongside Taylor.
The back three sees Roma Zheng and Juan Gonzalez come into the starting line-up on the wings with Louis Brown continuing at full-back.
Amongst the replacements, Alfie Garside returns from injury after not featuring in a matchday squad since October.
New loan signing from Gloucester, Hugh Bokenham, also comes onto the bench with Finn Haynes, Lloyd Williams and Chris Preen also returning.
The matchday 23 is completed by Ashley Challenger, Fraser Balmain, Thabo Ndimande and also Alfie Garside.
Worcester host Cambridge on Saturday, March 21 with kick-off at 3pm at Sixways Stadium.
