Agreed, hoping Worcs can finally get a win.Would actually be unsurprised with all home wins here - as much as I hope I'm wrong about that
who's out of position there? Purdy has played 13 before but that's all I can seeBristol side vs Wasps
15. Charles Piutau; 14. Niyi Adeolokun, 13. Henry Purdy, 12. Piers O'Conor, 11. Siva Naulago; 10. Tiff Eden, 9. Andy Uren; 1. Yann Thomas, 2. Bryan Byrne, 3. Max Lahiff, 4. Dave Attwood, 5. Joe Joyce, 6. Steven Luatua (c), 7. Dan Thomas, 8. Nathan Hughes.
System players: 16. Will Capon, 17. Jake Woolmore, 28. John Afoa, 19. Chris Vui, 20. Jake Heenan, 21. Tom Kessell, 22. Charlie Powell, 23. Toby Fricker.
Players only just back from injury, new faces, people out of position... Wasps have to be sure favourites.
Lahiff is a loosehead, usually, I think?who's out of position there? Purdy has played 13 before but that's all I can see
I've probably been asleep but I've never noticed 'system players' before. Urgh.Bristol side vs Wasps

Purdy has never played centre for Bristol before nor did he for Coventry AFAIK and was actually at 15 this time last week, O'Connor is a 13 (Although he has played 12 in emergencies lately but takes time/games to adjust properly), Powell on the bench is a powerful running wing/centre yet is covering 10 as we literally don't have any. Eden has maybe had 80 minutes total over a couple of matches in the first XV during the few years he's been with Bristol including one shocker of a half vs Wasps which saw him out of match day squads for a while and Sam Bedlow (a 12) take over at 10 and do recently. Uren has been practicing goal kicking as nobody else in the side can. That's before getting to returnees like Hughes who have been out for a fair while and Wasps being Bristol's biggest bogey team; Bristol have yet to beat Wasps since Pat Lam took over in 2017..who's out of position there? Purdy has played 13 before but that's all I can see
*do decently. That'll teach me for hastily smashing out a reply.d do recently.
I think it looks better on paper than on the pitch,That Sale side looks strong.
