Worcester v London Irish preview

Worcester boss Richard Hill has made three changes to his side for Friday night's Aviva Premiership clash at home to London Irish.

Hill has tinkered with his team following a 37-31 defeat against Northampton last time out.

Centre Josh Matavesi starts instead of Joe Carlisle, with scrum-half Jonny Arr featuring instead of an injured Shaun Perry. Up-front, Matt Kvesic starts at number eight at Sixways.

Samoa international Sailosi Tagicakibau reverts to his familiar wing position after making three previous appearances at centre for Irish this season. Hooker David Paice, meanwhile, returns to the front row, where he will pack down alongside Max Lahiff and Halani Aulika.
