HALF-TIME...

Warriors have strolled to an 18-3 advantage at the interval against a limited Rotherham Titans outfit.

Andy Goode opened with two penalties, before Titans replied with one of their own through Juan Socino.

However, the visitors started to hit their straps - aided by Rotherham's woeful line-out - and scored tries through Miles Benjamin and Pat Sanderson, one of which was converted by Goode.

For Warriors, lock Craig Gillies will make his 222nd appearance in a Worcester shirt to draw level in the all-time list with current coach and ex-prop Tony Windo.

Gillies, who joined the Sixways side from Llanelli in 2002, will also make his 200th start for the Warriors in south Yorkshire.

The Paisley-born lock will be joined in the second-row by ex-All Black Greg Rawlinson as head coach Richard Hill looks to add extra physicality to his pack with veteran hooker Chris Fortey and flanker Neil Best returning to the starting XV.

The Warriors chief hands hard-hitting centre Rob Higgitt his first start in two months after he returned from a knee injury as a replacement in the 33-13 victory over Plymouth Albion.

The ex-Scarlet will pair up in midfield with Alex Crockett as Hill shuffles his back-line.

Wing Miles Benjamin and England fly-half Andy Goode return after they were rested for Plymouth.
