THREE Worcester Rugby Club stars will feel at home on Sunday when they tackle Spain in the Six Nations Championship.

Because England players Joanne Yapp, Nicky Crawford and Nicola Goodwin are ready to perform at Sixways for the championship clash, kick-off 2.30pm.

Worcester skipper Yapp and winger Crawford will start for their country at their home ground while Goodwin takes up a place on the bench, hoping to win her first senior cap

Yapp and Crawford both started for England in their first Six Nations Championship game two weeks ago, helping the side to an 18-0 win in Wales.

Goodwin started for England A in their 54-0 win over Wales A at Cardiff earlier this month but now could be set for a step onto the big stage. There is a curtain raiser to the match with a clash between England Students and The Army at 12 noon. That is followed by an under-16 tag rugby demonstration at 1.45pm.

The trio warmed up for their national service with a 42-17 win over Waterloo in the RFUW Premiership.

Worcester started in style, scoring after just three minutes as centre Tessa Meek chipped over the Waterloo defence and beat their cover to touch down.

The Gold'n'Blues' forwards dominated throughout the game, repeatedly driving the Waterloo pack back in both set piece and open play.

The home side were rewarded with excellent possession that the backs used to out-run and out-play the Waterloo defence.

Further tries followed for fly half Karen Andrew, Crawford, scrum half Yapp (2) plus a second score for Meek.

Waterloo replied with a drop-goal from Scotland international fullback Ali Macgrandles, but Worcester went into half time 30-3 ahead.

The visitors came back strongly in the second half, but Worcester were again dominant in the forwards and never looked like losing their grip on the game.

Waterloo scored two converted tries through former England wing Jayne Molyneaux, but Worcester replied with tries from number eight Sarah Denham and wing Pip Atkinson plus a conversion from Karen Andrew.
