Bristol v Wasps: Teams

Wasps and Bristol have both made changes for their Guinness Premiership clash at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Wasps have made the majority of their changes in the forwards, with Rob Webber, Richard Birkett, Dan Leo and John Hart all being brought into the starting XV.

George Skivington and Lawrence Dallaglio are rested after playing against Clermont in the Heineken Cup last week, while James Haskell and Raphael Ibanez both start from the bench.

Director of rugby Ian McGeechan has made just the one change in the back division, with winger Tom Voyce dropping to the bench for just the second time for Wasps, and being replaced by Josh Lewsey.

Lewsey switches out wide from full-back, where he started against Clermont, and Mark van Gisbergen takes the number 15 shirt.

Flanker Tom Rees will play his 50th competitive start for the club, while Ibanez will have to pass a fitness test before taking his place on the bench.

Bristol head coach Richard Hill has to make several forced changes after his side picked up some major injuries during their Heineken Cup win over Harlequins.

David Blaney, Shaun Perry and Dan Ward-Smith have all had to go under the surgeon's knife for their respective injuries picked up against Quins.

Hill does have some players back though, with Tom Arscott returning from an injured ankle to play on the right wing, while there is a new half back partnership between Brian O'Riordan and Jason Strange.

Alex Clarke takes the place of Darren Crompton at loosehead prop, while Alfie To'oala and Andrew Blowers come in for Joe El Abd and Ward-Smith.
