Injuries force Worsley into emergency role

Joe Worsley will play as an emergency open-side flanker for Wasps against Leicester in tomorrow's Zurich Premiership Final at Twickenham.

Injuries to Tom Rees and Johnny O'Connor have left Wasps with no option but to use Worsley out of position with John Hart taking over at No6.

Meanwhile, Saracens face Gloucester in the Zurich Wildcard Final, the first game at Twickenham tomorrow, with head coach Steve Diamond recalling fit-again Glen Jackson at outside-half. A place in next season's Heineken Cup awaits the winners of the game and Diamond said: "We know we have a huge job on our hands against Gloucester. Our forward pack came off second best when we played them at Kingsholm a few weeks ago so we know the size of the task ahead of us.

"We will have to step up our performance levels tomorrow. The chance to compete in Europe next season is a big prize and one on which we are focused."
