Sailosi Tagicakibau and David Paice have both been named in the London Irish starting line-up for tomorrow night’s Aviva Premiership match against Worcester Warriors at Sixways (kick-off 8pm).
Samoa International, Tagicakibau, will start his first competitive match of the season on the wing after playing in the centre for his previous three appearances. David Paice replaces Scotland International, Scott Lawson, as hooker.
