[Raggs]

Looks like we're taking it rather seriously. A few members of our academy that may have been involved are off with age grade in SA.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wasps are such try hards.

Tigers team is all loughborough students.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Looks like we're taking it rather seriously. A few members of our academy that may have been involved are off with age grade in SA.

3 members of your academy are away with the U18 in SA.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like it's only wasps using senior players.
Players going on the u18 tour are still eligible for this, Aaron Reed is going to SA but playing for us

Mostly young academy lads, couple of sixth formers chucked in for good measure:

1) Billy Wara
2) Curtis Langdon
3) JT Nabetelevu
4) Nic Dolly (c)
5) Toby Hodges
6) Charlie Reed
7) Connor Doherty
8) Luke James
9) Paolo Odogwu
10) Connor Wilkinson
11) Arron Reed
12) Matt Sturgess

 

[Raggs]

Meh, I suspect we use it as a fitness exercise for the most part. Still, I'd rather see us playing actual Wasps than bringing in people from outside.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

See i rather give people from outside the club a chance than us a ruck of experienced seniors who get nothing out of the comp.

Maybe if everyone was picking starters but no one else is.


Wasps will look pretty stupid if they get an injury though.

 

[curtbob7]

They will also look pretty stupid if they don't win it by a country mile

Come on falcons

 

[curtbob7]

Gave it a watch last night for the first time and it just seems a complete joke.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good to see Rory Brand play well.

Think he's one of the most impressive age grade scrum halfs I've seen.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Reed looks a pretty good athlete. As well as passing for a nazi low rider.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Levi Davis looks a bit like Mike Tyson
