WORCESTER Warriors have made seven changes to their starting line-up for the visit of Cornish Pirates this weekend.

After returning from injury last weekend, James Tyas starts again in the second-row alongside the ever present Tim Anstee.
Khalik Kareem returns to the starting line-up at number eight with captain Matt Kvesic shifting to blindside flanker while Thabo Ndimande rounds off the forward pack.
Lloyd Williams comes into the side at scrum-half where he partners Will Reed at fly-half.
There’s a double change in the centres with Rory Taylor starting alongside debutant Tom Hendrickson.
In the back three, Louis Brown returns at full-back with Will Trewin and Juan Gonzalez on the wings.
On the bench, Fraser Balmain and Obinna Nkwocha return from injury and are set for their Warriors debuts.
Jasper Spandler, Cam Miell, Tom Cowan, Will Lane, Tiff Eden and Austin Wallis complete the squad.
