Andy Farrell comes into the Saracens starting line up in the inside centre position for Sunday’s Guinness Premiership clash against Leicester Tigers at Vicarage Road, kick off 3pm.

It will be the former Great Britain Rugby League captain’s first start at centre and he is one of six changes in the starting XV for the match which promises to be yet another in the series of close encounters between the two sides at Vicarage Road.

The centre captained England Saxons in the Churchill Cup this summer and has two full caps to his name which he won in 2002 in matches against Argentina and New Zealand.

Hill returns to action in victory for the A-Team

Richard Hill returned to action on Monday night as he played 40 minutes in Saracens A-Team’s 43-12 victory over Northampton Saints.

After a 16-month absence through a knee injury, Hill came through the game unscathed and it didn’t take him long to stamp his authority on the game.

The match was just seconds old when Northampton were penalised in the centre of field for holding on and no guesses were needed as to who was at the bottom of the ruck as the pile of players got to their feet!

Hill sets Monday date for comeback...

Richard Hill is set to make his long-awaited comeback from injury in the Saracens A-team against Northampton Saints on Monday night.

Hill is also expected to be joined by Thomas Castaignede in the team for the game at Old Albanians RFC, kick off 7.30pm. Castaignede has been limited to just a cameo appearance as a replacement against Newcastle Falcons this season because of a calf injury.

For flanker Hill, it marks the end of a 16-month spell out of the game following the knee reconstruction surgery he required after being injured in the opening test match of the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand last year. Of course, Hill had only just returned from similar surgery that ruled him out for much of the 2004/05 season in a two year-spell that has seen him make just 12 appearances for the Men In Black.
