WORCESTER are confident that Tim Collier sees his future at Sixways, despite being linked with a move to France.

The Warriors' lock, who will be out of contract in the summer, has been attracting the attention of a number of clubs, including Biarritz.

Sixways head coach Andy Keast, however, believes the former Harlequins man wants to remain at Worcester.

"We are heavily in negotiations about his future," said Keast.

"I've known Tim a long time and the impression I get is that he wants to stay at Worcester."

Meanwhile, James Brown has won a call-up for England 'A'.

The Sixways fly-half, who shone during Friday night's 22-15 victory over Leeds Tykes, has been included in the 'A' squad for England's clash with France at the Recreation Ground on Friday night (7.45).

Leicester's Andy Goode looks set to start the match but Brown has a chance of being in the 22.

"It's fantastic news for James," added Keast. "When he called me to tell me the news, you could tell how excited he was by his voice.

"It was always James' ambition to establish himself as a Premiership 10 and then gain international recognition. He deserves it."
