@James deliberatly slowing the ball down with Warriors in good territory

Warriors showing real bite in attack in these early exchanges, Lemi bursts through but is caught by Monye who refuses to release the tackler. Referee deems it serious enough to warrant a yellow card.

What for?

Quins try to respond quickly to going behind, Botica gives it width but the home side are stuck on halfway.

Pennel nails it from distance, giving his side an early lead. Great start for Worcester.

Big carrying from the Worcester pack, and Quins are eventually penalised for hands in the ruck 35m from the posts. Chris Pennell points to the posts.

Botica gets us underway, and the visitors are off to a ferocious pace.

Both sides out on the pitch, kick off seconds away.

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of today's Aviva premiership clash between Harlequins and Worcester. Quins will fancy this one at home today, welcoming a Worcester side low on confidence and momentum. Quins however are not as fluid as last year, and with a host of stars missing due to international duty, this one wont all be plain sailing. In team news, the quins back line is much changed, with Botica coming in at ten in what may be the most influential switch in the line up. Kick off less than ten minutes away.
