London Wasps director of rugby Ian McGeechan makes three changes to his starting XV for Saturday's trip to Leicester Tigers in the final Guinness Premiership game of the regular season.

Lawrence Dallaglio is rested, with James Haskell taking over at No.8. Joe Worsley takes over as captain.
Joe Ward wins a start at hooker, with Raphael Ibanez on the bench, and Josh Lewsey returns to the starting line-up at centre in place of the rested Dominic Waldouck.
Ayoola Erinle, who joins Tigers next season, is included among the replacements, but fly-half Alex King misses out due to a knee injury.
McGeechan said: "We have had four massive games in the last month and this weekend is the same again - they don't get much bigger than playing Leicester at Leicester.
"We have got to achieve something on Saturday that we haven't done before, and that's play well enough to come out with a win. The squad are in good shape and we are in a position to be selecting from strength for this game."
