Wood returns for Sarries league trip

Back row forward Tom Wood wins a recall as Worcester Warriors make one change for the Guinness Premiership clash against Saracens at Vicarage Road on Sunday (kick-off 3pm).

Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock keeps faith with the same team that recorded a first league win of the campaign last time out against Bristol, with the exception being Wood who replaces the injured Drew Hickey at blindside flanker.

Saracens won 21-16 when the two sides met at Sixways in the Guinness Premiership in October but Warriors were victorious on their last visit to Vicarage Road.
