WALES Grand Slam winner Josh Adams returns to Gallagher Premiership action with Warriors in Saturday’s clash against Wasps at the Ricoh Arena (kick-off 3pm).
Adams, who scored three tries in this season’s Six Nations, also got on the scoresheet when he returned to club action in the win at Bristol Bears two weeks ago in Warriors’ last Premiership outing.
Adams was rested for last weekend’s European Challenge Cup quarter-final against Harlequins but he returns on the left wing in place of Bryce Heem, who has a foot injury, in the only change to Warriors’ back division.
England flanker Ted Hill, number eight Marco Mama, tighthead prop Nick Schonert and lock Anton Bresler all return from injury in the pack with Darren Barry, who came off the bench against Harlequins, starting alongside Bresler in the second row.
Scotland international back-row forward Cornell du Preez is set for his first Premiership appearance since he suffered a fractured larynx against Wasps in the opening match of the season.
Du Preez made his comeback as a replacement against Harlequins and he has again been named on the bench.
