Preview: London Wasps vs. Saracens

London Wasps can close the gap to the top four in the Aviva Premiership with a win over league leaders Saracens tomorrow.

Andrea Masi, Joe Launchbury, Tom Lindsay and Zak Taulafo have been brought into the starting lineup for Wasps, having all come off the bench against Northampton Saints last weekend.

Meanwhile, the visitors have named Charlie Hodgson at fly-half, while Owen Farrell moves to inside centre as Brad Barritt is rested.

John Smit, Petrus du Plessis, Mouritz Botha and Jackson Wray all come into the side, following last week's win over Harlequins.
