...leash against Harlequins

After a taste of international rugby and some much-needed R&R, Wasps scrum-half Joe Simpson is raring to get back into action this weekend.

Simpson and team-mate Christian Wade made big impressions as second-half replacements in England Saxons’ 18-9 win against Irish Wolfhounds – Wade snapping up the visitors’ second try at Cork’s Independent Park,

Both were rested as Wasps’ LV= Cup prospects were officially killed off in Northampton on Saturday, but they’re back for Sunday’s Aviva Premiership match at home to arch rivals Harlequins (2pm).

“It’s always an honour to wear the red rose and it was really pleasing that we managed to get the win against a very strong Ireland team in a hostile environment,” said Simpson.

“It was an enjoyable week meeting up with some old and new faces in the squad and getting an insight into how other players and clubs approach games. It’s sometimes nice to change things up, which helps to keep you fresh and on your toes. I really enjoyed it and would love to be part of the England set up again in the future; that will always remain my ambition.
