Nottingham will have Leicester Tigers duo Sam Vesty and Billy Twelvetrees in their side for Sunday's game against Moseley at Meadow Lane.

Versatile back Vesty, 28, has two England caps to his name and joins the Green and Whites to improve his match fitness after injury.

Vesty is joined at Nottingham by centre Twelvetrees, who is dual registered.

Director of rugby Glenn Delaney said: "Sam needs some game-time, and we're delighted to be able to help."

Nottingham's injury list has shortened this week, with ex-England international Ben Johnston, Matt Parr and Nic Rouse all returning.

"I'm delighted to have these guys back in the squad for Sunday because we've had a difficult few weeks with injuries," added Delaney.

Nottingham desperately need to get back to winning ways after losing four consecutive Championship fixtures.
