WORCESTER Warriors have named an unchanged team for their do-or-die Premiership shoot-out against Bristol at a sold-out Sixways tonight (7.45pm).

Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan hasn’t sprung any surprises in his team selection after Worcester’s last-gasp 29-28 victory at Bristol last week in a thrilling Championship play-off final first leg.

Centre Max Stelling remains sidelined after tearing his hamstring a month ago in the 30-26 home defeat against Bristol in the final match of the regular Championship season.

Flanker Sam Lewis is still missing following the sudden death of his father Roy, a former Swansea player, on the eve of the tussle at Ashton Gate.

Warriors take a slender one-point advantage into the all-important second leg and will need to seize the early initiative in the set-piece as they did in the meeting seven days ago.

Worcester will also need to keep their discipline and make sure they keep 15 players on the pitch throughout.

Ryan is urging Worcester’s fans in a 12,024-strong capacity crowd to get behind his troops from the opening whistle blown by referee JP Doyle.

Ryan said: “This is the side which will represent us for potentially the biggest prize we can get.

“We have had a lot of sore bodies and we just need to get the intellect right and what we are doing and why we are doing it.

“We have always said that Stelling was on a tight time - line and we have had another week with Chris Pennell.”

The back-three includes Cooper Vuna, Tom Biggs and Pennell, with the full-back looking to taste a second pro - motion from the Championship after helping Warriors to final-day success at Sixways in 2011.

Ryan Lamb starts at fly-half and, while he was outstanding with the ball in hand in the first leg, he failed to convert three of Warriors’ five tries.

Ryan Mills and Alex Grove keep their spots in the centre and Jean-Baptiste Bruzulier, who gave a superb display last week, gets another start at scrum-half.

Worcester’s pack includes vastly experienced Argentina hooker Gus Creevy and Leicester-bound back row Mike Williams, who will be hoping to finish their Warri - ors careers on a high.

Warriors have been hit by a series of woes heading into the season finale and are missing first-choice scrum-halves Charlie Mulchrone (broken foot) and Jonny Arr (suspended).

Kicker Andy Symons (knee ligaments) and back Dean Hammond (thigh) are both injured.
