Even in our current state anything but a home 1/4 is underachieving in this pool.

Why do you think this is such a weak pool...?
It's not strong! I still trust Leinster to get up for Europe and get 5 wins, a loss will probably come in England realistically.Why do you think this is such a weak pool...?
We SHOULD be hard to beat at home, though..
I'm expecting a tough match, we're not in any great shape and the attacking ability of some of Wasp's players is terrifying.
Its actually our back-row who are the most influential at the moment (and front row) we have pretty much the most physical back-row around and its causing teams big problems. If wasps are able to do well in this pool it will be because of a dominant pack rather than the backs per se ( where we still rely on individual brilliance rather than well drilled strikes and sustained probing)
I still fear for us in Dublin as we don't travel well - despite the irony Amiga points to about us lacking a true home!!

Just on that - whats your take on it? (Ricoh)
Good move for everyone involved? Or good move for the club side only? Or just a bad show all round?
Here is another question - West Ham are moving to the Olympic Stadium - so what happens Upton Park? Would that have been a possible candidate for purchase by Wasps?
edit: Although I suppose the difference of 20 million for Rioch vs ~70 million for Upton Park would have something to do with it!
I thought the owner of Wasps has a big share in the stadium in Coventry. He wants to move Wasps to try make the stadium more profitable.
it's being turned into houses/apartments.
