ENGLAND Sevens recruit James Collins has been called into the Worcester Warriors team for Saturday's European Challenge Cup home clash with Bucuresti (3pm).

The 21-year-old back-rower replaces club captain Pat Sanderson, who is rested.

Drew Hickey returns at number eight and Will Bowley is named in the second row in place of Craig Gillies who moves to the bench. Matt Mullan switches from prop to hooker in place of Tongan Aleki Lutui.

The Sixways side are looking for a win which would see them end their pool fixtures with a 100 per cent record.

Warriors director of rugby Mike Ruddock said: "Pat is not in the squad at all because he is having a rest.

"Generally he is fine, just a bit sore and resting a few bumps and bruises.

"We would have liked to have seen a few other players, but they weren't registered for Europe because they were injured at the time.

"Players like Tim Collier could have done with a run out and he's been playing well in the A' League. Shaun Ruwers could have had a run too, but he's ended up with a hairline fracture to his left hand which will keep him out for a week or two.

"Marcel Garvey is still not quite right with his muscle strain, neither is Netani Talei, who has got a knee problem.

"It will be a big game for Bucuresti and they fancy their chances of finishing as high up in the group as possible.

"They asked if they could train here at Sixways, but we are having a few difficulties with a lot of water on our pitches, so we've had to decline their request."
