SPENCER Bromley went back to his old stomping ground today with fond memories of Waterloo.

The 30-year-old Worcester winger spent two seasons at Liverpool St Helens while studying at university and knows the territory better than most.

However, he is fully aware the Sixways side are in for a tough test in the National Division One encounter, with Waterloo having al-ready beaten fancied sides such as Exeter and London Welsh so far this season.

Bromley said: "What I have lear-ned since I came to Worcester is that everybody wants to beat you because the club stand out in the division.

"It is slightly different in the Premiership because most of the sides are of an equal standard but in our league Worcester are the ones to beat.

"Waterloo and their supporters will like nothing more than to bring us down to earth on Saturday."

He added: "Traditionally, Water-loo were always a very strong club with a good following. I haven't been back there since the game went professional so it will be interesting to see what effect it has had on the club."

Bromley enjoyed his time at Liverpool and it proved a productive spell with him forcing his way into the England students squad. However, after last season at Ulster, he is determined to make a big impact at Sixways this year.

He said: "I spoke to Geoff Cooke in the summer and you cannot help but be impressed with the set up here. It was something I wanted to be part of and I am delighted to be here.

"We have made a good start to the season but we are always looking to improve. We measure ourselves to the standard of the Premiership in training and in matches because we know we could be in a play-off situation come the end of the season."

Bromley, who has also studied at Oxford for a post-graduate qualification, insisted this season was an important one for him personally.

He said: "I probably have another three or four good years left so it is very important that I am successful with Worcester because I want to play in the Premiership and be among the big boys."
