London Wasps are boosted by the return to fitness of fly-half Dave Walder for the trip to Sixways.

Worcester Warriors have made three changes for the visit of London Wasps to Sixways.
In the back division, fly-half James Brown and centre Mark Tucker come into the side, with Shane Drahm switching to full-back and Gary Trueman dropping down to the bench.
The selection of prop Darren Morris at Tony Windo's expense is the only change to the pack that lost at Bath on the opening weekend.
Samoan winger Dominic Feaunati is named among the replacements after recovering from an elbow injury.
London Wasps fly-half Dave Walder takes his place in the starting XV after overcoming the injury that kept him out of the opening-day defeat against Saracens.
Walder's return means Riki Flutey switches to inside centre and Dominic Waldouck onto the wing, while David Doherty drops out of the match-day 22.
In the forwards, Tim Payne and Joe Ward are preferred to Tom French and James Buckland in the front-row.
Back-row James Haskell is provisionally named at No.8 but will undergo a fitness test on Saturday to determine his participation.
Should Haskell be ruled out, Hugo Ellis will make his Premiership debut.
