BACKS Sam Smith and Alex Grove have been restored to the Warriors starting line-up ahead of tomorrow’s Greene King IPA Championship semi-final first leg at London Scottish (kick-off 1.45pm).
Grove comes in for Max Stelling who picked up a knock in last weekend's clash with Bristol, while former Harlequins man Smith steps in for Tom Biggs.
The back three also includes Australian international Cooper Vuna and Supporters' Young Player of the Season Ben Howard at full-back, who replaces the injured Chris Pennell.
Ryan Lamb and Ryan Mills maintain their partnership at fly-half and inside-centre respectively while Charlie Mulchrone is recalled at number-nine.
The front five remain unchanged while Argentinian international Leonardo Senatore comes into the back-row for Jonathan Thomas.
The replacements bench sees just two backs including scrum-half Jonny Arr and versatile 22-year-old Dean Hammond who can play at centre or on the wing.
Warriors will also have the powerhouses of Agustin Creevy, Ofa Fainga'anuku, Joe Rees and James Percival to call upon, while recent signing from Ospreys Sam Lewis is named as replacement back-row.
