Saracens stand-in head coach Richard Graham has welcomed the return of a number of international players to the squad for Sunday's match with Wasps.

He is confident the return of Steve Borthwick and other players such as Cencus Johnston and Chris Jack can help them earn their eighth consecutive home win. The trio could be joined in the side by Italian internationals Matias Aguero and Fabio Ongaro, but Andy Farrell and Alex Goode are not fit to play. Kameli Ratuvou remains a doubt after coming off injured against Bath two weeks ago.

He added: "I think going forward we've got Cencus back this week, Fabio, Matias, Steve Borthwick and Chris Jack so a lot of good players to bolster the squad. Steve is massively influential with any group and having the likes of them back will be fantastic."

The coach knows the importance of the match with sixth spot and a Heineken Cup place up for grabs.

He added: "I think seventh place could get a Heineken Cup spot, depending on other results such as Toulouse, so we've still got a lot to play for. We've got our own aspirations in the Guinness Premiership and also in the European Challenge Cup.

"Wasps have a number of key individuals who can make things happen for them and an absolute belief in their own ability."
