Hill may make changes for the second play-off game.

Worcester Warriors head coach Richard Hill is expecting a difficult challenge from London Welsh in the second of their play off games.

Warriors won a fractious contest with Bristol 44-15 in their first play-off tie on Saturday.

He told BBC Hereford and Worcester: "They are a good side as we found out in the last 20 minutes when we played them at home.

"You give them a bit of space and they go forward.

He added: "I thought they (Welsh) played very well against Nottingham, although Nottingham did come back well in the end to score three tries, it was 43-5 at one time."

Hill believes his side's win at Bristol will have sent out a message to other teams in the play-offs.

"It was important having seen London Welsh get off to a good start and Bedford pulling off a cracking win at Rotherham.

"You can see they have got themselves well prepared for the play-offs.

"So it was important to put down a marker by doing well at Bristol, we got a bonus point to prove to everyone we are ready for the play-offs as well."
