ACADEMY back-row Huw Taylor will lead Worcester Cavaliers in tonight's Aviva A-League clash against Northampton Wanderers at Sixways (7.30pm).

Worcester will have another look at trialist scrum-half Alex Glashan, a former pupil at Edinburgh Academy, who played for Scotland at under-18 level.

Glashan also received a Scotland 7s aligned elite development contract in May 2012.

He played for the Cavaliers in last Monday's narrow defeat at Sale Jets.

Six Warriors first-team players are among the matchday 23 with Max Stelling and Tiff Eden in the backline and Ryan Bower, Biyi Alo and Christian Scotland-Williamson all starting in the pack.
