TEENAGE sensation Johnny Williams has been recalled to the London Irish side for their Aviva Premiership trip to Northampton Saints tomorrow (3pm).
The former Redingensians Rams colt replaces the injured Aseli Tikoirotuma in the back line in the only change from the side which beat Worcester Warriors 20-13 on Sunday.
Fijian Tikoirotuma suffered an injury to his medial ligament in his left knee in that contest and will be in a brace for six weeks before the full extent of the damage is revealed.
However, powerful No. 8 Ofisa Treviranus returns to the substitutes bench having recovered from concussion.
Irish will be hoping to complete a seasonal double against Saints, having won 25-23 at Madejski Stadium on Boxing Day.
London Irish side: Fenby, Ojo, Mulchrone, Williams, Hearn, Geraghty, Steele; Court, Paice, Aulika, Symons (c), Lloyd, Sinclair, Narraway, McCukser.
Substitutes: Ellis, Smallbone, Halavatu, Nagle, Treviranus, Allinson, Brophy-Clews, Waldouck.
