Vickery to skipper Wasps in Murrayfield clash
ENGLAND prop Phil Vickery was today named captain of the London Wasps' side to face Edinburgh at Murrayfield tomorrow in the Heineken European Cup in the absence of injured French hooker Raphael Ibanez.
Vickery is one of six England internationals returning to the side with Paul Sackey, Riki Flutey, Danny Cipriani, Tom Rees and James Haskell all named in the starting line up.
Wasps boss Ian McGeechan said: "It's good to have our internationals playing back despite a short turn around for some of our players. It is a big challenge going to Edinburgh, they are a side who are playing well and who are well coached and it will be a big game for both sides."
London Wasps:
Van Gisbergen, Sackey, Waldouck, Flutey, Lewsey, Cipriani, Payne, Webber, Vickery, captain, Skivington, Birkett, Betsen, Haskell, Rees. Subs. – Varley, French, Shaw, Hart, Simpson, Walder, Mitchell
