WORCESTER Warriors have named an unchanged starting XV to take on Bedford Blues in the Champ Rugby play-off final this weekend.
Bedford won the two meetings between the sides in the regular season, winning by 14 points at Sixways in April and by 16 points at Goldington Road in December.
Worcester stunned previously unbeaten Ealing Trailfinders with a last gasp try to reach the final while Bedford produced a second-half blitz to defeat Coventry.
Billy Keast starts a sixth consecutive game at loosehead prop, partnering Austin Wallis and Fraser Balmain in the front-row.
Hallam Chapman starts for the 10th game in a row in the four shirt with James Tyas also partnering him in the second-row for a sixth consecutive start.
Hugh Bokenham continues at number eight with Australian Tim Anstee and captain Matt Kvesic rounding off the forwards at flanker.
Scrum-half Lloyd Williams will play the final game of his professional rugby career at scrum-half after announcing his retirement last week, with Will Reed again starting at fly-half.
In the centres, Billy Twelvetrees and Siva Naulago start again with Josh Bassett, Jake Garside and Louis Brown completing the starting XV in the back three.
There are four changes to the replacements with Jasper Spandler, Ashley Challenger, Obinna Nkwocha and also Alfie Garside returning to the matchday squad, joining Livai Natave, Thabo Ndimande, Will Lane and Tiff Eden.
Worcester travel to Bedford on Sunday, May 31 with kick-off at 3pm at Goldington Road.
