Fortey set to join 200 club

Director of rugby Mike Ruddock has selected the same starting line-up that drew 12-12 on home soil with Bath as he looks for Warriors to secure a third home win of the campaign.

Fortey is named among the replacements and, if he plays a part in the encounter, it will be his 200th game in the English top-flight and he'll move to fifth in the all-time league standings for games played.

"Chris is about to hit the 200 club in the Guinness Premiership and this is yet another example of his durability, professionalism and skill," said Ruddock.

The only change to the 23-man squad comes on the bench where back row James Collins replaces Jake Abbott, currently away on England Sevens duty in Dubai.

Ahead of the game, Ruddock has admitted 'it doesn't get much bigger than this' as his team face the undefeated league leaders.

However, he insists the excitement in the Sixways squad could not be any greater as Warriors prepare to challenge that proud record.

"It would have been good to get four points last week and we felt on balance we just deserved to edge it against Bath. Ultimately it's gone now, it's our fault we didn't nail it down," he said.

"Now we have got to learn from that and face a really big challenge against Saracens."
