Worcester v Bourgoin: Teams

Bourgoin will assume control of Pool Three if they can record a second successive victory over Worcester on Saturday.

It will be a much tougher test at Sixways, but they know they have the beating of their hosts, just as long as they can maintain their focus and intensity.

Eric Catinot has named a strong side that features French international Morgan Parra at scrum-half, with experienced centre Rudi Coetzee fit to start as well.

Eoghan Hickey will make his debut for Worcester as Mike Ruddock makes six changes for the return clash.

Hickey will play at full-back as Ruddock's men look to return to winning ways after their disappointing 29-14 defeat in France.

Rico Gear reverts back to the wing with his countryman Sam Tuitupou returning in the centre's after missing last week's game to return home to New Zealand.

Ruddock makes three changes in the front row with Darren Morris, Chris Fortey and Tevita Taumoepeau all restored to the starting line-up with Matt Mullan rested.

Hal Luscombe is set for his first competitive start for the club after being named on the bench.
