Former Oxford University prop Ollie Tomaszczyk made his Worcester Warriors debut during their 23-21 home defeat to Cornish Pirates in the Championship.

Tomaszczyk, who was the Dark Blues’ player of the year last season, came off the bench as a second-half replacement.

And the 23-year-old front row has already impressed Warriors head coach Richard Hill.

Speaking before last week’s match, Hill said: “He has been a one-man destroying machine.

“God forbid if you get in his way, you get smashed – whether you are one of the opposition or one of his own players!”
