ANDY Keast has no doubts over his Worcester side's sharpness ahead of their trip to Kingsholm.

The Warriors have no game this weekend because of their Powergen Cup exit but the Sixways head coach believes his squad are raring to go for next Saturday's Premiership derby with Gloucester.

"The players know it's a big game and they're relishing it already," said Keast. "Obviously, when there's been a break from Premiership action, you look at their mental sharpness. There's absolutely no problem with that side of things because there is a real buzz around the place.

"The players cannot wait for the game. There's no fear, they are very much up for the match. Physically, they are training well. I've been delighted with what I've seen."
