London Wasps director of rugby Warren Gatland, has
named his team for this Saturday's Zurich Premiership semi-final match against Northampton Saints.
After missing last weekend's game due to a rib injury, Stuart Abbott was declared fully fit and will start alongside Fraser Waters at centre.
The only other changes are Trevor Leota starting ahead of Phil Greening at hooker and Rob Howley replaces Martyn Wood at scrum-half.
Gatland said, "This game will no doubt be one of our biggest of the season. After last week's loss to Harlequins, the squad has regrouped, refocused and are ready for Saturday. We've had a good training week and on Thursday the players enjoyed a day out doing team-building exercises. I think the day out helped take Saturday's game off their minds for a few hours, which was good.
"We play better when we face strong opposition and so I expect the side to raise their game for what will be a powerful Northampton onslaught. All I can add is we are fit, ready and raring to go."
