Teams Up

[Peej]

Obviously going big on the lineout, but think we lose a bit of "us" around the field and our ability to compete at the breakdown.

Bit harsh on J T-A after last week. And think having Gopps and Charlie on the bench (while understandable) is a bit overkill. Don't see how Lima continues to be picked at 15.

This is the Lima that made a number of teams of the week.
JTA played the whole game so possibly a short rest as this was short week as is next.

Lima was lauded for his goalkicking, his abilities in attack and defence at 15 are somewhat limited.

[Rossm]

16 points is still 16 points.

[Heathen]

The pack has been beefed up to deal with the Chiefs game plan. Some of the creativity has been sacrificed in the backs.

This looks like a Plan B option by Lee. (and injuries forcing his hand somewhat.)

It will be interesting to see, from a Wasps perspective, how this goes. If it works, then it really does give a much more all court option going forward.

[petros]

I assume Minozzi is injured since the bench cover for back 3 is minimal

[MarleyWasp]

He's on his mandatory rest period. Available next week.

A lot needs to change before we're favourites - I certainly won't be betting the house on us

Currently at 12.45 pm Wasps have gone a very marginal fav on betfair! Although 5 mins later Exeter are are the marginal favs again. It's very close in the betting, but I just hope that we at least get a bonus point.

This is as good a chance as any to beat them. They have a seriously depleted team, particularly up front but as we know with Exeter it is the system that beats you irrespective of what team they put out. Definitely will help having a lot of their big guns missing however.
We have to be confident going into this one
