London Wasps Director of Rugby Tony Hanks has shuffled his pack with Zak Taulafo, Simon Shaw, and captain Tom Rees back in the starting line up for the clash with Worcester Warriors at Sixways Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
With the changes to the starting XV, a strong bench includes Tim Payne, Joe Worsley, Serge Betsen, David Lemi and also welcomes Phil Vickery back to the match 23 after recovery from neck surgery. Vickery’s last run out for Wasps was back in October against Racing Metro.
Hanks said: “Wasps have always struggled to clinch a win at Sixways and with both sides battling for vital points this weekend, we expect a hugely competitive game.
