Horsman and Talei in for Warriors

Fijian forward Netani Talei has suffered an injury-hit season

Worcester Warriors duo Chris Horsman and Netani Talei are fit to start Saturday's last Guinness Premiership game of the season against Newcastle.

Horsman has not started a game since October but he and Talei both came off the bench in Sunday's win over Bristol.

Director of rugby Mike Ruddock needs them to have played a full game before the European Challenge Cup Final.

"They may not start in the final," said Ruddock. "But I have to know they're fit, and have had some game time."

Horsman suffered a shoulder injury in October which ruled him out of Wales' entire victorious Six Nations campaign.

Talei has not figured in the Worcester 22 since the 36-15 defeat to Harlequins at the Stoop in mid-February.

After their final league game of the campaign at Sixways on Saturday, Worcester will have a 15-day break before the European Cup final against Bath at Kingsholm.

And they will be keen to maintain the hot streak that has seen them lose just twice in nine games, six of which have been at Sixways.
