Tom Voyce makes his first start for London Welsh against his former club, London Wasps, in the Aviva Premiership at Adams Park, Wycombe, tomorrow (3pm).
Having impressed Exiles head coach Lyn Jones during a trial period, which included several Aviva ‘A’ League appearances, Voyce agreed a deal with the club this week and is named at full back in place of the injured Tom Arscott.
Voyce, 31, began his career at Bath, where he made the first of his nine England appearances.
He joined Wasps in 2003 and over the next seven seasons won two Heineken Cups in 2004 and 2007 and three Premiership titles in 2004, 2005 and 2008.
Voyce is one of 12 changes from the side that beat Cavalieri Prato 32-31. Martin Purdy, Michael Hills and Seb Jewell are the only survivors.
London Welsh: Voyce, MacKenzie, Parker, Jewell, Scott, Henson, Keats, Montanella, Briggs, Ion, Purdy, Corker, Mills, Hills, Jackson. Reps: George, Bristow, Joly, Kulemin, To’oala, Runciman, Lewis, Ajuwa.
