FORMER England stars Phil De Glanville and Jeremy Guscott are included in the Bath side who face Worcester Rugby Club in their final pre-season game at Sixways tonight (7.30pm).

De Glanville is pencilled in to face Adrian Skegg's side and Guscott will play if he recovers from a hamstring strain.

Worcester include England under 21s Chris Wilkes, Greg Meredith and Daniel Denton in the match which has free admission. The trio will be given the chance to impress and stake a claim for Saturday's big kick-off at Orrell.

But Worcester supporters will have to wait until Saturday before they get a glimpse of the club's new prop forward Mohamed Benbouhout.

Benbouhout hopes his Worcester form will ignite his international career.

The French Under-21 ace, who yesterday put the final touches to his Sixways move, believes the coaching of Geoff Cooke and Skeggs can transform him into a full international.

Speaking exclusively to the Evening News, Benbouhout said: "It is very difficult to break through into the full international side in my position because they go for experienced players.

"I have come to Worcester to develop my game and make myself a better player. I would love to play for France and I think the coaching here will help me to do that."

The 22-year-old, who weighs 18 stone, has already played at Sixways two years ago with the under-21s and remembers then how impressed he was with the set-up.

He said: "When I came here with France I could not believe how good the facilities were for a second division club. This is an outstanding complex and I want to put the club where it belongs -- in the first division."

He added: "Everyone has made me very welcome here, they are a great bunch of lads. I think the main difference I have found so far between English clubs and French clubs is that here everybody seems more focussed."

Meanwhile, former Great Britain rugby league international Andy Currier has been forced to quit Worcester because of a knee injury.

The 34-year-old centre, who has played for Widnes and London Welsh, only joined Worcester last season.

"Andy has requested to be released from his contract and we have agreed to that with immediate effect," said Worcester chief executive Geoff Cooke.
