FULL-TIME...

The three tries after the break were scored by Jonny Arr, Matt Kvesic and Andy Goode as the visitors were blown away.

HALF-TIME...

WARRIORS have racked up three tries by the interval and will be looking to seal their bonus-point as soon as possible in the second-half.

Craig Gillies crashed over for a rare try after just five minutes, before Adam Balding - on as a blood replacement for Kai Horstmann - crossed the line.

Nottingham number eight Alex Shaw pulled a try back on the half-hour mark from a driving line-out, but the prolific Miles Benjamin coasted over minutes later following good work by Joe Carlisle and Dale Rasmussen.

GOOD afternoon and welcome to Sixways for the Worcester News' live coverage of today's Championship play-off pool 'A' clash between Worcester Warriors and Nottingham (3pm).

Click on the link above for my minute-by-minute match updates via twitter.

Joe Carlisle starts at fly-half as Warriors target victory number four in the play-offs.

Carlisle takes the number 10 shirt for the pool ‘A’ clash with Andy Goode, who kicked 10 points in the 25-19 win at Nottingham, dropping to the bench.

Matt Mullan also returns to the side as part of a new-look front row with Aleki Lutui and Bruce Douglas, while Kai Horstmann takes over as captain because Chris Pennell misses out with a rib injury.

Pennell is replaced at full-back by Tom Arscott and Dale Rasmussen comes in at inside-centre.

Elsewhere, England under 20s flanker Matt Kvesic replaces James Collins as the openside continues to recover from concussion sustained at Nottingham.
