Three ex-Worcester players look forward to returning to Sixways with the Wanderers

Three former Worcester Warriors academy members will make the return to their former home ground on Monday when the Wanderers play Worcester at Sixways in the Guinnness A League. Hooker Dylan Hartley will have already returned to Sixways as he is on the bench for tomorrow's Powergen Cup game against Worcester (KO 2pm), but he will be joined by former Warriors No 8 Mark Hopley and lock Alex Rae on Monday night.

Twelve first team squad players will travel to Sixways on Monday night: Andy Vilk, Seamus Mallon, Rhodri Davies, Luke Myring, Ben Jones, Chris Budgen, Brett Sturgess, Grant Seely (capt), Ross Beattie, Matt Lord, Brett McNamee and John Rudd. Beattie will be playing in his first game this season following his rehabilitation from a shoulder injury.

It will be the Wanderers' fourth away fixture in the Guinness A League. They played their first home fixture last Monday against Leicester, which they won 36-0.
