GIANT lock Tim Collier has been recalled from his loan spell at Launceston to cover for Greg Rawlinson, who is doubtful for Saturday's trip down the M5 to Bristol.
With Rawlinson struggling with soft tissue damage, Collier could take a place on the bench. Kiwi wing Rico Gear is likely to play at outside-centre as Dale Rasmussen has taken a heavy knock to his neck and shoulders, but skipper Pat Sanderson is likely to be rested.
Gear is having an injection in his back today, but should be fine for the Memorial Stadium clash.
Aleki Lutui (elbow) and Kai Horstmann (shoulder) are also doubts for the game, but flanker Netani Talei and scrum-half Ryan Powell could figure.
Sixways boss Mike Ruddock said: "We'll take a final view on Netani in the next day or so. Ryan is definitely OK and could well come into the mix.
"From the way Greg plays the game, piling into the contact areas, he has got some soft tissue damage and we'll have to wait and see."
