Hill is waiting to find out who his team will play in the semi-finals

Worcester head coach Richard Hill says he will pick his strongest side to face Bristol in their final Championship play-off match next weekend.

Warriors hope to secure their sixth consecutive win as they prepare to face Doncaster or Bedford in the last four.

"We need a big performance next week to make it six from six." he told BBC Hereford & Worcester.

"Looking at last year's statistics, in the group stages nobody went unbeaten, so it is not easy."

Following Saturday's close-fought 22-20 win at London Welsh, Hill added: "I thought it was a great effort.

"London Welsh had a huge amount resting on this because they had not mathematically qualified for a semi-final place.

"They really wanted to beat us to have a chance of winning the group and avoid going to Cornish Pirates in the semi-finals."
