A MIXTURE of Worcester's young guns, seasoned performers and first team stars will face Northampton at Sixways tonight.

Their side includes players from the Under 21s, second and first teams as the club get ready for a return to league action on Saturday following a three-week break.

Mat Walker, Ben Harvey and Sililo Martens are among the first teamers chosen for the game.

U21s Chris Hall and Andy Robinson start in the front row but they will be helped in the pack by the experience of Mark Linnett and Steve Lloyd.

The Saints are currently leading Allied Dunbar Premiership One and chasing a domestic double with a Tetley's Bitter Cup quarter-final at London Welsh later this month.

They have chosen a side of mainly fringe first team players but their starting line-up does include the former Bath and England winger Jon Sleigtholme.

Worcester: Goodfellow, Woof, Eastwood, Holder, Walker, Harvey, Mar-tens, Robinson, Hall, Linnett, C Daniell, S Lloyd, Scriven, Brown, Merlin. Reps: W Lloyd, Smith, J Daniell, Ball, Allen, Simpson-Daniel, Morgan.

Northampton: Jackson, Cook, Kirk, Tucker, Sleigtholme, Vass, Bramhall, Volland, Johnson, Todd, Geary, Foale, Allan, Rennick, Hepher.
