Up early due to taking daughter and her boyfriend down to Stanstead to fly to Venice for a holiday, so I will miss the England game. Outside it is the very, very wet last summertime start of the day, as we look forward to an extra hour in bed tomorrow.
I can't feel good about today. This year's Wasps squad have a lot of team building to do. A work in progress. I think, each week, we will see something start to go right, and it will be fits and starts. I suspect it will be beyond Christmas before it all really starts to click.
I would clarify that. I can't feel good as in I can't see us winning. But, I hope to see improvement in our gameplay and teamwork. In such wet weather, there will be knock-ons, wayward passes, scrums galore (and lots of resets as the pack will never keep their grip). Lots of kicking will be the order, and many solo runs. Ball in hand and hold tight. Balls ripped in the tackle.
I will watch the game on my favorite streaming site, hoping it doesn't go down.
