HEAD coach Carl Hogg has made seven changes to the starting line-up as Worcester Warriors look to claim a European Challenge Cup quarter-final place when they visit Brive in the final pool game tomorrow (2.30pm GMT).

Ben Howard comes in at full-back while centre Jackson Willison, who will be leaving for Bath in the summer, and scrum-half Michael Dowsett are also recalled.

There are two front-row changes as Ryan Bower is at loosehead alongside hooker Kurt Haupt while Alafoti Faosiliva and Matt Cox return to the back row.

Elsewhere in the forward pack, GJ van Velze captains the side for the second consecutive game.

In the backline, Hogg keeps faith with wingers Perry Humphreys and Dean Hammond while Chris Pennell is given another game at centre.

A Warriors win will be enough for them to qualify for the knockout stages as one of the three best runners-up across the five pools.

Worcester currently occupy the third best runners-up spot.

If Warriors did reach the knockouts, it would be the first time they have made it to that stage of the competition since 2009 when the Sixways side reached the final four.

Warriors: Howard; Humphreys, Pennell, Willison, Hammond; Shillcock, Dowsett; Bower, Haupt, Kerrod, Barry, Phillips, Faosiliva, Cox, van Velze. Replacements: Singleton, Milasinovich, Alo, Taylor, Williams, Baldwin, Olver, Howe.
