well i dont normally watch any of the english prem (rugby anyways) but with the amount of welsh interest in this match, i'm definitely gonna try and catch the first half at least (not missing the O's vs the Turks). Obviously being an ospreys fan i'm intrigued to see if Mr Henson will actually play, or if saracens and the media are just using his name to promote and sell tickets. Anyways i'm looking forward to watching some rugby at the very least, cause what i've seen of both sides, they can score some nice tries... Good luck to both (especially "our" Gav )

Reckon Gav'll get 20mins or so,
O. Farrell on great form atm, and it'd be stupid to drop him for Gav.

Think Saracens will lose this. They've been consistently alright, not great but not aweful, whereas Wasps can be good (but can also be very bad, if the mood takes them) - Wasps by <5

Think Gavs first start will be against Sale on Jan 2nd.

Gav in as a rep!

 

[Getofmeland]

Sarries will play Henson, they spent too much money on him to not play him...

Rumours are that cyRil is heading to Wembley!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rumour has it he's drilled a crotch high eye hole in the home team shower room...

 

[Draggs]

cyRil cheering for the Saffas?!? I know its Gav, but still.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Rhys Gill also on the bench for Saracens!

 

[TrueSlawter]

Hoping to catch this game but depends how busy the day is gonna be not sure if anyone is coming over yet so might be resigned to internet streams

 

[TVH11]

Good to hear Gav's on the bench, i presume the amount of game time he gets will depend on how the game is going for sarries.... hope he gets 15/20 mins to really get the feel of the game. Saying that him being on the bench will probs just put bums on seats and he'll play like 2 mins at the end

Will also try to watch the game. Hopefully the Sarries can ring some good rugby.

 

[TVH11]

gonna try and catch this game, just for like the final 20 (hopefully Henson comes on in last 15 ). Really wish Gav was playing against the Turks today, but that aint gonna happen. Just hope that he'll play half decent I don't watch much Aviva prem, so i'm really looking forward to seeing different style of rugby (in comparison to the Magners. Good luck to both sides

Game time

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

This is depressing to watch. It's an interesting game but as a wasps fan to see such set-piece failure... How can you hope to get points without a solid set-piece.

The good thing is the pressure our back row are putting on their half backs. We're going to miss Betsen when he retires. I think our backs could win this game for us(potentially) but not without safe ball. Infuriating

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Farrell is having a terrible game ... Gav lad, get warmed up son!

HT 3-0 Saracens

 

[Gavin]

Good twist there for Henson while going over the try-line. Better than anything he did on the dance floor

 

[Amobokoboko]

Just tuned in, but the Sarries don't look that bad.
