ROTHERHAM'S top try scorer Michael Wood looks set to miss Saturday's Sixways match.

The winger, who has racked up 22 tries this season, has a crack in his eye socket and, according to Rotherham chief executive Jim Kilfoyle, is "very unlikely" to play any part against Worcester.

"It's fair to say he's very unlikely to play at present," he said. "We have a number of options available to us, however. We have James Craig and David Strettle who is a very promising talent.

"Jason Keyter is also a possibility so we have a number of players who can come in.

"I think if we look back to the Worcester fixture in November, both sides had players out but we managed to come through that game."

Kilfoyle believes the game will be a great advert for the quality of rugby outside of the Premiership.

"I've been pushing National Division One for a number of years now. This is an eagerly awaited game and one that you want to be part of."
