WORCESTER have insisted there will be no left-overs in the clash with Otley on Saturday (3pm).

The Sixways side, riding high at the top of the National One table, begin the second-half of the season against the team which bullied them at Cross Green in September.

Otley almost caused the upset of the campaign in that very first game when they led until a last-gasp Ben Daly try got the Warriors out of jail.

With a number of unsavoury incidents marring the league game, the chances of some unfinished business was always a threat.

However, Worcester's coaches John Brain and Andy Keast have ruled out any hidden agendas in the Sixways clash, reiterating their desire to concentrate on rugby.

"We will be focused entirely on rugby," said Brain. "To be frank, in that match at Otley, we were out-muscled, we lost our discipline and got out of jail.

"The players understand that this is a big game because they know just how close we came to losing against Otley. They are focused on the match."

Worcester recall Ben Hinshelwood to the starting line-up as they go in search of their 14th consecutive league victory. The Scottish international was dropped to the bench in Worcester's last National One game against Coventry.

But he came on as a second-half replacement with great effect.

David Officer drops out of the side while there is a recall for fit again winger Chris Garrard after a groin injury.

Tommy Hayes is once again preferred to James Brown at fly-half, while Gavin Pfister and Christian Evans return to the back row.

New signing Russell Earnshaw wins a place on the bench, edging out fit-again Richard Bates.

"We were disappointed, as Tommy Hayes was, with his first half performance against Coventry last time out," said Keast.

"We didn't feel, however, that it was fair to give the dog just one chew at the bone. We thought we'd give him another chew. James Brown has played there all season and we know what he's about, we just want to have another look at Tommy in the fly half role. When we've got so many people available, it's about examining the squad and that's what we're doing."

Team: O'Leary; Garrard, Hinshelwood, Trueman, Davies; Hayes, Swanepoel; Windo, Daly, Fortey, Gabey, Gillies, C Evans, Pfister, Hickey.

Replacements: Powell, Brown, Officer, Hall, Lyman, Zaltzman, Earnshaw.
