Craig Gillies returns to the starting line-up as Worcester Warriors take on Bath Rugby in the Guinness Premiership at The Recreation Ground (kick-off 2.15pm).

Lock Gillies replaces Will Bowley, who is ruled out with a broken thumb, and highly-rated second row Graham Kitchener comes onto the replacements bench.

Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock also make a change in the front row with prop Tevita Taumoepeau starting with Chris Horsman among the replacements.

Worcester's final change to the side that were narrowly beaten by Leicester Tigers last weekend comes in the back row where Kai Horstmann plays at blindside flanker with Tom Wood moving to openside to replace the injured James Collins.

Skipper Pat Sanderson (quad), Rico Gear (Achillies), Marcel Garvey (hip) and Hal Luscombe (knee) are ruled out through injury.
