Odogwu ACL Injury

[HDAWG]

Still reckon it’s our gym/ training regime or are we asking players to bulk up too much?

Jack was injured whilst on England duty and Paolo was in the same camp doing solely gym work with the England staff for months on end.

If you want to blame the training regime Wasps isn't where I would start.

Good point ,but could it be our training/ etc is different to that done or demanded at other clubs which doesn’t help when players do go on international duty?

Not sure what sort of S & C at wasps or England would have prevented Jack's injury?

Exactly. Jack's injury was breakdown injury, nothing to do with England other than the shirt he was wearing. This one we should not blame on England, it's getting a bit ridiculous now.

Don't forget Sam Jones career ending injury with a judo throw and Tommy Taylor's months out as a consequence of England training sessions

How much more bad luck can we get! Feel so sorry for Odogwu - must have been in contention for an England spot. We now have three long term ACL casualties. You couldn't write it.

How much more.......

Maybe the name change will improve matters.

So the question is, do we see the swansong of the likes of Sops/De Jongh or do we think we will see players such as Simmonds or Hartley come in?

Whoever can give us a win!

I think Sops is history but a fit JdJ might still rise to the occasion.

I agree, judging by his tweets Sops is, somewhat understandably, counting down the days until he is on the plane home.

Do we know how long Fekitoa is out for and if JDJ is fit?

Nope

[Shugs]

De Jongh must be a possible. He's very much still part of the squad. I imagine we'll see Le Bourgeois and De Jongh start. I don't know if Spink is fit.

Its a chance for the golden oldies and the youngsters to shine...

Problem is we really need to make top 8!

Out of interest, was it the knee of the leg Paolo had heavily strapped?
