CHRIS Pennell is one of two changes to the starting line-up from Warriors’ last Aviva Premiership clash ahead of their match with Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop tomorrow (Saturday).
Pennell made his comeback from injury last weekend in the European Challenge Cup against Brive, but is set to make his first league appearance of the season on the wing tomorrow.
Ben Te’o is named at inside centre, following his call-up to the 33-man England squad.
Academy youngster Jamie Shillcock keeps his place at full-back after signing a first-team deal earlier this week and joins a backline that includes Jonny Arr, Ryan Lamb, Jackson Willison and Dean Hammond.
The pack remains unchanged from the clash at Leicester Tigers three weeks ago, which will see Val Rapava Ruskin make his 50th appearance for the club.
On the bench, flanker Dewald Potgieter returns from a lengthy injury lay-off and could make his first appearance since scoring in the win at Newcastle Falcons in March, while Niall Annett is named as replacement hooker.
Academy youngsters Charlie Hewitt and Josh Adams are also on the bench, alongside Wynand Olivier.
