Cipriani is back at No10 for Wasps

England fly-half Danny Cipriani will wear the London Wasps No10 jersey tomorrow night when he completes his comeback from a serious ankle injury six weeks ahead of schedule.

Cipriani will line up in his favoured position against Guinness Premiership opponents Bath at Adams Park.

It will be his first appearance since suffering a fracture and dislocation playing against the same opposition in the play-offs more than four months ago.

He replaces Jeremy Staunton from the side that defeated Leicester last Friday, while England colleague James Haskell is on the replacement's bench after completing a one-week suspension.

Cipriani, 20, was ruled out of England's summer tour to New Zealand after winning three caps last season.

A successful comeback could thrust him back into contention for the four November internationals at Twickenham.
