Vickery fit for final

England World Cup captain Phil Vickery will return from injury when Wasps contest Saturday's Guinness Premiership final against Leicester at Twickenham.

Vickery, who sustained a knee ligament problem in mid-April, has trained fully this week and reclaims the number three shirt as Wasps target a fourth Premiership title in six seasons.

Wasps rugby director Ian McGeechan said: "I am delighted that Phil has come through a week's training and contact to be fit for Saturday. It helps to make up for the loss of Danny Cipriani and Tom Voyce for this game."

Cipriani, who is recovering from an ankle injury that means he might not play again this year, is replaced at fly-half by Riki Flutey.

Flutey, the Professional Rugby Players' Association player of the year, switches from centre, with Dominic Waldouck and Fraser Waters forging Wasps' midfield partnership.

Voyce's absence through a shoulder injury means Josh Lewsey lines up on the wing, with Mark Van Gisbergen called into the side at full-back.
