Worcester Warriors' new full-back Chris Latham will make his club debut on Wednesday in the pre-season friendly against Ulster at Ravenhill.

The former Queensland Red is ready for a return to action after three months on the sidelines with injury.

"We are delighted to give Chris Latham a first start," said director of rugby Mike Ruddock.

"We look forward to seeing him in a Warriors shirt for the first time, it will be a special moment for the club."

"We have named a strong line-up as we look ahead to the Northampton game on 7 September, but Greg Rawlinson misses the game with a slight knee aggravation but we expect him to be fit for selection for our trip to Saints."
