The 21-year-old has featured six times for the Blue, Black and White to date, all in the Premiership Rugby Cup, and takes the 10 jersey in the absence of injured duo Orlando Bailey and Piers Francis.

Worboys is one of three changes to the starting XV that began last weekend’s match against Saracens.

Tighthead prop Aranos Coetzee comes back in for the injured Will Stuart while Will Butt takes his place on the wing.

The team is otherwise unchanged with scorers last time out Matt Gallagher and Joe Cokanasgia joining Butt in the back three and Cameron Redpath continuing his midfield partnership with Ollie Lawrence.

MATCH PREVIEW AND WOMEN'S TEAM NEWS

Louis Schreuder is at scrum-half behind a pack including captain Tom Dunn and Juan Schoeman in the front row.

Dave Attwood and Quinn Roux retain their places in the second row and back row of Josh Bayliss, Miles Reid and Richard de Carpentier is consistent.

On the bench, Ted Hill could make his Bath Rugby debut alongside fellow ex-Worcester Warriors man Billy Searle who has signed on a short-term deal.

Home Premiership debuts could be forthcoming for Fergus Lee-Warner and Tom Carr-Smith.
