WORCESTER Warriors have been forced into a late change ahead of tomorrow's EDF Energy Cup clash with Ospreys after wing Rico Gear was ruled out through injury.
Mike Ruddock's men are due to tackle the reigning cup champions at the Liberty Stadum in Swansea (kick-off 3.05pm).
But they will now be without the services of New Zealand wing Gear, who has scored three tries in his last two European games, after he was forced to pull out following the captain's run on Saturday with an abductor injury.
Director of rugby Ruddock has now named speedster Charlie Fellows on the wing with Joe Carlisle promoted to the replacements bench.
