Hill has taken his side seven points clear at the top of the Championship

Worcester Warriors head coach Richard Hill says he does not know who his best full-back is at the moment.

With Chris Pennell out injured, Hill has switched between Tom Arscott, Willie Walker and Joe Carlisle.

"It's a dilemma for me at the moment picking a full-back," Hill told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"It is a tricky one but hopefully Chris Pennell will be back in six weeks' time. If he is back he will claim his rightful place at full-back."

Carlisle started at full-back against Moseley in the last Championship game, before Arscott came on to score a try.

If you have a full-back who can play at 10 you can interchange between them and it will take pressure off Andy Goode Worcester Warriors head coach Richard Hill

But Hill says he is considering giving Carlisle a run at full back.

"Looking at play off time that cultured left boot of his is useful," he said.

"When it's a bit drier his strength is to step up to first receiver.

"If you have a full-back who can play at 10 you can interchange between them and it will take pressure off Andy Goode.

"When we come to the play-offs we won't be playing with too much fancy rugby. We will be looking to play a bit of territory, to have a right foot and left foot kicker is a massive bonus for the team."
