Otley have announced a near full strength squad for their National One match at Worcester on Saturday with only James Tiffany (knee) being unavailable for selection.

Matt Oliver has recovered to take his place in the centre alongside Rob Whatmuff. Neil Law moves back onto the right wing.

Duncan Sayers takes the starting role at hooker after his outstanding second-half display at Wakefield. He will form a formidable front-row alongside Justin Wring and Kris Fullman.

Giant locks Ian Carroll and Jason Oakes start in the second-row while the versatile Paul Williams reverts to the back-row alongside Nathan Bland and Ed Thorpe.

Otley include former Rugby League star Leroy Rivett among their replacements.

The Lance Todd Trophy winning former Leeds Rhinos star has made good progress in the Saracens notching two hat-tricks in recent wins.

Another former Rugby League star who has once again linked up with Otley is Chris Birchall.

The former Bradford Bulls starlet was loaned out to Halifax RL for Super League 2002. He then played for Otley's second string in 2002-3 learning how to scrummage in rugby union.

He returned to Halifax for Super League 2003 and when the club was relegated he signed for Glasgow Rugby Union Club. Amidst rumours that he was signing for Orrell Birchall elected to rejoin the Otley club.

Otley are on a high at the moment, especially after winning the derby game with Wakefield on December 27.

After that triumph Simon Binns said: "We are up to fourth now and we have reset our target for the year - we want to push on and finish either in fourth or third place.

"We've got a tough game down at league leaders Worcester but we are confident."

Binns is Otley's leading points scorer with 184 followed by Will Darby with 25, Ian Shuttleworth with 17 and Matt Oliver, Waisale Sovatabua, Neil Law and Jason Oakes each with 15.
