...clash after suffering hamstring injury.

Wasps’ Director of Rugby Dai Young has named his team to take on defending European Champions Toulon this Sunday at Stade Félix Mayol in the European Champions Cup Quarter-Final.

Captain James Haskell and Italian international Andrea Masi return to the side after being rested last weekend following RBS 6 Nations action, while Welsh international Bradley Davies has recovered from a shoulder injury to take his place in the second row.

Samoan centre Alapati Leiua has also recovered from a knee injury to start on the bench.

Christian Wade and Sailosi Tagicakibau have been side-lined by hamstring injuries, while no. 8 Nathan Hughes is not allowed to play until after the outcome of his disciplinary appeal hearing.

Tom Varndell and Will Helu start on the wings, with Guy Thompson, who played so well against Stade Francais in last season’s European play-off, running out at no 8.

Alex Lozowski retains his starting spot at fly half, having impressed with the boot and with ball in hand against Northampton Saints last Friday. Andy Goode has recovered from a jarred ankle and comes onto the bench. Carlo Festuccia, Charlie Davies and Jake Cooper-Woolley are also fit to start on the bench.
