[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 276842"] Back row ace Kai Horstmann returns to the starting line-up for Worcester Warriors as the club opens its Guinness Premiership season with a trip to Northampton Saints on Sunday (kick-off 1.15pm). Horstmann has been out of action since damaging ribs against Brive in the European Challenge Cup in April. But the 28-year-old has now been declared fully fit for the big clash at Franklin's Gardens and will line up alongside skipper Pat Sanderson and Tom Wood in the back row. Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock names new French signing Olivier Sourgens in the front row alongside Matt Mullan and Aleki Lutui. Highly rated centre Greg King will join Scotland A international Alex Grove in the centre, with Sam Tuitupou and Dale Rasmussen both ruled out injured. Fly half Willie Walker, who completed his move from Gloucester in the summer, links up with scrum half Ryan Powell and speedster duo Miles Benjamin and Marcel Garvey are named on the wing. "The new season has come around very quickly and we are really looking forward to it," said Ruddock. "It's a tough trip for us first day and a big challenge, but one we intend to face head on. We will go with the right attitude; we didn't play well on the first day last season and know we must perform this time." Tickets are still available for Saints v Worcester from the Saints Ticket Office. Prices start at just £15 for juniors and concessions and £24 for adults. Order online 24 hours a day via the ‘Tickets and Memberships’ page of the Saints’ website. Supporters can also pop along to the Saints Ticket Office in person until 5pm this afternoon (Friday), between 9am and 12noon on Saturday and from 9am on Sunday. Supporters are however advised not to leave their ticket purchasing until the last minute and to allow plenty of time to access the Franklin’s Gardens stadium on Sunday.
