Saracens welcome back internationals Matias Aguero, Fabio Ongaro and Kameli Ratuvou to their starting line up for Sunday’s Guinness Premiership clash against Worcester Warriors at Vicarage Road.
The Italian front row duo and the Pacific Islands winger return to a team that also sees Director of Rugby Eddie Jones name a new second row partnership.
Former Wales captain Michael Owen swaps the No.8 jersey to join Hugh Vyvyan at lock while in the back row, Ben Skirving comes in at the back of the scrum with Wikus van Heerden and Andy Saull named on the flanks.
“The internationals who have returned to the team have performed very well for their countries in the past few weeks,” said Jones.
“Matias and Fabio were also in good form for us before they joined up with Italy and Kameli scored a superb try last week for the Islanders so all three are playing well.
