EX-Worcester Rugby Club skipper Alistair Murdoch aims to catch the eye tonight when he leads the second team against Rugby Lions at Sixways (7.30).

The winger plays in a Warriors side containing a number of fringe players bidding to impress coach John Brain.

Tony Yapp gets the nod at full-back while on-loan centre Scott Barrow plays at 13 after starring for Orrell in the National Two side's 41-7 win over Esher. He will continue to play for the Warriors this season.

Fly half Steven Vile gets his chance while prop Ollie Smith will be tested out as hooker. Long-term injury victim Greg Meredith gets a place on the bench.

Team: Yapp; Murdoch, Barrow, Truman, Lewis, Vile, Pellow; Collins, Smith, Lyman, Matthews, Soper, Mason, Nias, Knight. Replacements: Meredith, Richardson, Higgins, Chesham, Pearl, Hughes, Knight, Warren.
