Richard Hill is warning his side there is no room for complacency

Worcester Warriors head coach Richard Hill has made six changes to his starting line-up to face Moseley.

Dale Rasmussen will captain the side in place of Kai Horstmann, who is one of a number of players rested this weekend.

"We've got to be streetwise enough to play the right game to win that match," Hill told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"With it being a derby game as well, they will be desperate to beat Worcester, so we will certainly come up against a very committed team."

Tom Arscott will play in the centre and there's an appearance on the wing for Oriol Ripol, who replaces leading try-scorer Miles Benjamin.

In the pack, Callum Black will start at loosehead, while former skipper Pat Sanderson returns from injury to join forces with Neil Best and Jake Abbott in the back row.

Fit-again duo Adam Balding and Craig Gillies take their places on the replacement's bench after coming through the 'A' League clash with Sale Jets earlier in the week.

Hill added: "They've got a big forward pack and they like to drive a lot of ball.

"They have got a ground that is on a slope and is very windy so that is going to be a test for us.

"We have played on two away grounds that have been lovely - Plymouth Albion was a fantastic surface while Esher was a lovely surface and a great ground.

"This is the first game where we are going to have a slope and the wind and rain to cope with."

There will be full commentary on BBC Hereford & Worcester on Moseley v Worcester Warriors, as part of Sport on Saturday from 1400 BST on Saturday, 2 October.
