Jack Willis will make his 50th appearance for Wasps in Saturday’s Round 9 Gallagher Premiership clash with Worcester Warriors at Sixways Stadium (kick-off 3pm).
The flanker is one of six changes to the starting line-up as he links up with Nizaam Carr and co-captain Thomas Young in the back-row – the latter who returns after illness.
James Gaskell has also recovered from a shoulder injury to start in the second-row for the first time since November alongside recent Wales call-up Will Rowlands. Joe Launchbury is unavailable due to England duty.
In the front-row, tighthead-prop Kieran Brookes has overcome illness to join Simon McIntyre and Tommy Taylor.
Dan Robson co-captains the side from scrum-half while Billy Searle starts at stand-off in the absence of Jacob Umaga on England duty and Lima Sopoaga who has a calf knock.
Jimmy Gopperth is joined by Juan de Jongh in the centres after the Springbok has shaken off an ankle injury to make his first Premiership start since November, while Malakai Fekitoa misses out with a knee injury.
Josh Bassett makes his first Premiership start since October in a back-three that includes Zach Kibirige and Italy international Matteo Minozzi, with Marcus Watson absent with an Achilles strain.
In the replacements, Ben Harris returns after a shoulder injury while Biyi Alo could be in line for his first Premiership appearance of the season for the Club, with Jeff Toomaga-Allen missing out through concussion.
Sam Wolstenholme is also recalled to the replacements as Wasps look to continue their recent attacking threat in the league which has seen them pick up try-bonus points in each of the last two outings.
Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young said: “If you look at the next block of games, it will have a big determining factor on where you end up at the end of the season.
“Going to Worcester is never an easy game. They are a quality team who have built over the last couple of seasons.
“This is probably the best team they’ve had for a couple of seasons and they’ve shown that this season with some of their performances and results.
“We know we’re going to have to be somewhere near our best and it’s something we’re looking forward to as we want to put the wrongs of last week right. We want to start climbing the table.”
