WORCESTER Warriors' pursuit of Patrice Collazo is over.

The Toulouse prop looks set for a return to England but Gloucester are ready to welcome back the loosehead to Kingsholm.

The 30-year-old was at Sixways last month to watch Worcester take on Saracens but seems likely to link up once again with Gloucester.

The Warriors' pursuit of Breyton Paulse is still on although the wing is now attracting attention from France.

The South African is understood to be keen on a move to Sixways but Worcester's Premiership survival will play a big part in the final decision.

Meanwhile, Worcester were today assessing their various bumps and bruises following Sunday's 21-16 victory at Newcastle.

Neil Lyman is sore after his 60-minute run-out at Kingston Park but Giscard Pieters is the biggest worry.

The South African wing picked up a dead leg just before half-time in the game and is an early doubt for Sunday's trip to European champions Wasps.

Worcester will be bidding to make it an unlikely double at the Causeway Stadium after beating Wasps 27-24 in one of the season's biggest upsets in November.
