Morning VV, WWW, Ross, Neils, Nelly and all Waspies from a gloriously sunny Guildford. Vespa I doff my hat to you, it was gone midnight so the moon was over the yardarm. One persons late night is another persons early morning, and after work I am normally in bed at 9pm I subscribe to the latter.
I have a new Costa Rican coffee blend in the percolator this morning - cafetière really, I love percolated coffee, and grandma was a dab hand at it when we were kids in the 80s, but it is time consuming - and my apprehension of whether this is going to be a smooth, tasty, glorious and soul lifting experience is as apprehensive as my thoughts surrounding our game to Irish at their wonderful new home today.
I would love to of been there to see the boys run out, but the wife once again is working this weekend, so it’s a sofa job for me. Do not get me wrong I am so pleased to see our boys play, but I miss the excitement of getting in the car, arriving at the ground, buying a overpriced beer, a steaming pie, and being with fellow Waspies, mana from heaven indeed!
This promises to be a cracking encounter, both of us are pushing top 8. Both of us have struggled to find form, but have shown glimpses of good rugby. Consistency has been neithers friend, so in cases like this picking a winner is very hard. Lee is right, for this season there are no more next weeks -although technically there is one more against a certain opponent we all love to beat - but I take his point. We want champions cup rugby we go out and move heaven and earth to make it happen. We know the ability is there, it is just on occasion the belief is lacking. If the boys believe in their skill set, believe in the game plan, believe in one another then we will be most of the way there.
With fans returning, it just feels that our support is needed and valued at just the right time. So to those at the ground, give it your full voice...and let’s get a win to catapault us towards our home next weekend ,and champions cup rugby beyond!
Come on you Wasps!
