WORCESTER WARRIORS

LAST SEASON: 11th. COACH: Alan Solomons

KEY INS: Ashley Beck (Ospreys), Michael Fatialofa (Hurricanes), Cornell du Preez, Duncan Weir (both Edinburgh) Francois Venter (Cheetahs).

KEY OUTS: Sam Olver (Ealing), David Denton, Will Spencer (both Leicester), Donncha O’Callaghan, Peter Stringer (both retired).

STAR MAN: Ben Te’o. The only real star name at Sixways needs to drag them up the table as their top talent. BOSS’S BOLTER — Alan Solomons: ‘Jack Singleton. He was tremendous for us last season. I have no doubt the hooker will continue to build and will go on to represent England in the near future.’ FAN VERDICT — David

Kling: ‘Most opposing fans believe we’ll be relegated by Christmas but this is our best set-up for at least 10 years and it could be our year to make a push up the table.’ SPORTSMAIL’S VERDICT: Relegated. Someone has to go down, and at this point it looks like there are 11 better teams than Worcester.
