TOM Biggs will make a return to action tonight as Worcester Cavaliers travel to Heywood Road to face Sale Jets (7.30pm).

Biggs forms part of an exciting backline as the Cavaliers look to start their Aviva A-League campaign on a high.

In the back three, Biggs is joined by Josh Adams at full-back and Andy Short on the opposite wing.

Max Stelling and academy centre Will Butler occupy the midfield partnership while Tiff Eden forms the half-back combination with trialist Alex Glashan.

Scrum-half Glashan is a former pupil at Edinburgh Academy who played for Scotland at under-18 level in 2010/11 and 2011/12.

He received a Scotland 7s aligned elite development contract in May 2012.

In the front row, tighthead prop Biyi Alo will get his first start in a Worcester jersey alongside fellow summer signing Matti Williams and loosehead Ryan Bower.

Andrew Kitchener starts alongside the massive Christian Scotland-Williamson in the second row while Huw Taylor leads the side from the back row which also includes Zac Xiorouppa and Matt Cox.

Assistant academy manager Mark Hewitt said: "We're looking forward to seeing this young squad in action.

"Heywood Road is always a tough place to visit but we'll be looking to kick-off our campaign with a win."
