Good luck to him but not something I would like to see happen to this Wasps team just now. Mind you with Malakai nearly back and JdJ playing well.

The article fails to mention the most significant Wasps connection - LBND!

He's really got that x-factor.  His try yesterday combined great vision, execution under pressure, acceleration, agility and hands for the pass to Robson.

He's still young too (IIRC he's 23?) and this is perhaps the most game time he's had in a while.  I'd love to see him play for Italy and although that might not be so great for us in terms of availability, with JdJ and Fekitoa both there I think we'll be fine.

Also would double down a partnership/understanding with Minozzi too.  Between Matteo, Polledri and Varney as well as perhaps Paolo Italy are starting to bring through some fairly young talent playing in perhaps the World's most competitive league week-in week-out.

Paolo played his best game since joining Wasps.

When he develops his lateral vision - to spot supporting runners - and his passing he could be outstanding.

He was very much the same at Sale , a livewire who seemed to promise much but didn’t deliver.
Think the chance to play at 10 has made him a better player.

I think I’d better get Nelly to proofread my posts 😮

I did notice on one of his breaks he had Lima on his right shoulder shouting directions

I was thinking he might get Eddie Jones's attention with call up for England. Just the sort of player EJ would like, covering both 13 and wing and very physical. Similar to Jack Nowell except faster and possibly harder to stop.

As he has played for the under ages, it would be good , the only problem would be he plays in one game and then not asked again.

Don't forget the tackle which probably stopped a Bath try. He had to move pretty fast to catch the Bath player.
