Hayman is rated as the best prop in the world

Hayman had his first run-out for the club last weekend after coming off the bench in their defeat by Wasps.

"We're looking forward to seeing how Carl goes," said Falcons director of rugby John Fletcher.

Hayman's fellow All Black Rico Gear will make his Worcester debut on Saturday against Parma.

Gear, who missed out on selection for New Zealand's World Cup squad, has been selected at outside centre.

He is the third of Worcester's New Zealand imports this season to arrive at the club, following Sam Tuitupou and Greg Rawlinson.

Elsewhere in the Falcons side, England centre Mathew Tait remains at full-back, with a fit-again Jonny Wilkinson starting his second game since the World Cup final almost seven weeks ago.

Friday's European Challenge Cup action also sees Bath travel to France to face Albi.

Sale are in Bayonne on Saturday, while Leeds Carnegie host Calvisano on Sunday.
