Worcester bring in Aussie cover at 10

FRANCOIS Hougaard will be sidelined for at least two more weeks as he recovers from an adductor injury.

Ryan Mills will also be out for three to four weeks with a quad injury so Worcester Warriors director of rugby Gary Gold has signed Australian flyhalf Jono Lance on a short-term deal.

Back rower Matt Cox faces a long spell out with a bicep injury.

Gold is to leave the club at the end of the season and take over as coach of the USA.
