I missed the games today due to travelling, could someone give their thoughts on how Wasps did today compared to yesterday?

The Tigers game was a good contest. 26-20 thanks to Umaga's drop kicks. The SF v Briz was very much Wasps of last night, aided by a Briz red card in the 2nd half for a wild neck high arm. Sarries look very strong in defence, just like their senior counterparts. Wasps will have to be at their very best if they do meet them in the final.

Thanks Heathen.

Good to hear. Shame about Vellacott though, he's been class this weekend. Who will replace him?

Oh I agree Porter has also been great. Was curious if we're bringing anyone else in.

It is not allowed. You have to stick by your squad.

Porter off in first half. Seems a limp so maybe a precaution with Vellacott injured.

Shame we didn't win it, but the talent we had look exciting. I'm hoping Porter and Vellacott aren't too badly injured and wish them a speedy recovery.

Porter pulled something in scoring his try right at the start of the game. He limped away from touching down.

The squad were dead on their feet. Sarries had the stamina and made very few mistakes. Tired players make mistakes. It was the same last year. The fast game that Wasps play was too much to do in two successive days.

Some very good cameos out there this weekend though. It's looking good for this year, and following years.

I met some great rugby fans, and a good time was had by all, with Kurky doing his made stuff on the mic and camera in the quick breaks. The girls were back (plus 2 guys)!!! Yay. Better looking than the Singha Cheerleaders, these were introduced as the Prem Sevens Dancers, and very nice folk they were too (got to chat with them when the gates opened, as it was quiet).

Much lower attendance this year I would guess. At least 2 or 3 thousand less. A shame really, as it is good fun. I am guessing holding it this late in the Summer (almost Autumn) was the reason. Far less (obvious team) fans other than neutrals, Saints and Wasps fans.
