Wasps taking the ****, a bit

I am actually a little disappointed. We got battered a few times in the past in the Prem Cup but i'd never want to field a full strength. I get players back from injury need to play as well as 3rd/4th string but with only Brown as a fully fledged academy player its a bit odd.

It's a bit of a poor show on our part.

To be fair aren't a lot of the first teamers just back from injury?
I don't mind sides using the cup as a way to get players back to fitness - it's just a bit jarring to see our bench with teenagers covering unfamiliar positions vs multiple internationals

Yh sadly for Sale i look at that team and Harris, Morris, Hougaard, Fekitoa, Kibrigie, Crossdale, Odogwu, Frost, T Willis have all had injuries. I do think it would have been nice to see likes of Eckersley, Monye, Bell, Hardwick, Hartley, Cripps, Maasi-White, Dawkins, Simmonds or Fisilau etc but most either injured or with Eng U20s

Olly Robinson out as wife has gone into labour, Another U18 academy player Simon Koroiyadi goes onto the bench.

 

[Goodey]

I wonder if they take it in turns to pass some ******** to Austin before a game every week just to see if he'll read it out.

 

[Geordie]

Pretty meh game up here really with a few decent bits in between.

Sale 26 - 41 Wasps
About the scoreline I expected tbh

 

[Craigo]

We have midweek action soon.

 

[will311293]

Yh me too. We looked a little rusty in terms of lots of players who never play together.

We've literally ran out of players so are fielding 22, apparently
Great to see Harper back,
Two locks and a hooker in the backrow, again

Edit: Just realised there's no #20 on the bench either, so a 21 man squad? wut

Scholtz, Van Vuuren, Toomaga-Allen, Vukasinovic, Cardall, Morris, Curan, Carr, Wolstenholme, Miller, Watson, Mills, Simonds, Mehson, Crossdale
