Doesn't matter - interesting that Dom Barrow does not make the squad.

I know there are injuries but what a boost for the younger - academy players who have performed over past few weeks
I do wonder what the team would have looked like under Jim
Just need to win now

It's going to be a tough ask. The Wasps squad looks formidable. Having said that, we are at home, and hopefully that will count for something.

Pleased to see Moon in again, I thought he was excellent recently. According to the Offy he is the heaviest and tallest lock in the squad, so adds ballast and size. Lenny Newman was impressed with him on Radio Noddy.

Also big congrats to Karl Garside, what a moment for him if he comes on - along with a couple of others having debut league games.

Wasps look to have a quite a bit more experience across the squad. The young un's will need to be be ready for a tough game.

Looking forward to Alex v Kieran.

I like the fact that the average age of our starting XV is 23 and that that the replacements are likely to reduce that further. Good luck to the debutants.

Very young side . It's a big risk although they'll be hungry.

Also gone for weight in the pack. Fish over Marshall, Moon over Barrow, Davis over van Wyk.

Wasps are out of form and have players away, but they are still strong.

Super win if we can get it.

We should win every scrum, if the opinions about Brookes over the past years are anything to go by.

It would be a very very good win if the lads pulled it off. Good luck to them.

Exciting to see the young lads in there being given a chance , I’m sure they’ll do us proud!

Hats off to Boyd for sticking to his youth policy.

With the pressure of our position in the league a lot of DoRs would have aired on the side of caution and picked the internationals Api and Luther.

Apart from his courage I also love his positivity when I read his thinking in the media. He seems to bring a positive energy. Our defence is back working hard again.

Looking forward to seeing how furry gets on. Seems to always break the firet tackle and deceptively strong.

In the past, we’ve stood off players like miller, Bassett and Watson and they’ve made fools of us.

Some of our tackling earlier on in the season was woeful, going too high and with no aggression. The try the Bristol scrum half had disallowed as an example - 3 players tackle him and he wriggles free. I’ve seen enough over the last couple off weeks to give me more confidence going forward. A player on the ankles and one hitting the chest - gets the team going. Hoping to see more of the same today.
