Wasps lock Simon Shaw will enter the Guinness Premiership record books again when he runs out against Leeds on Saturday.

The England ace is set to make his 200th Premiership appearance, becoming the first player to reach a double century of appearances in the league.

Shaw has already booked his place in Premiership records courtesy of his drop-goal against Bath in 2000 - with no other second row having achieved the feat.

Shaw made his league debut for Wasps against London Irish in October 1997 and has racked up 122 wins, 11 draws and 66 defeats over the years.

During that time Shaw - who has been woefully underused by England in the past - has won three Premiership winners medals, two Heineken Cup, two Tetley Bitter Cup, one Parker Pen European Shield and one Powergen Cup winners medal.

He was also named the Zurich Premiership player of the season in 2004, and the club's players' player of the year award in 2003.
