Saracens V Wasps: Post Match Thoughts.

[DGP Wasp]

You’d have to hope Oghre completed the HCPCI so in contention for next week.

It's not an HCPCI (whatever that is) that Oghre has to complete, it's a 3 match ban, of which today was match 2, so not available against Bath.

Frost was out this week following the head injury vs Exeter. Fingers crossed we'll have him back.
After a couple head knocks in a short space of time, I'm sure no chances will be taken at all with Cruse, however desperate we find ourselves, so no chance we'll be seeing him against Bath.

No, I’m sure the Oghre ban is 3 but cut to 2 if he does the course. Let’s hope he’s done the course.

Extracted from Gaby's sanction decision:

The following matches are to be counted by way of meaningful sanctions:
1. Wasps v Exeter Chiefs (16 October)
2. Wasps v Saracens (24 October)
3. Wasps v Bath (30 October).
The Player has indicated that he intends to apply for World Rugby's Head Contact Process
Coaching Intervention. The Panel agrees to permit the Player to apply for the Coaching
Intervention. In the event of the Player receiving a confirmation of completion from World Rugby,
the final match of the Player's suspension will be substituted by the successful Coaching
Intervention.

Part of it was that he got a weeks reprieve if he completed the course:

He was given a three-match suspension by the independent disciplinary panel comprising Gareth Graham (chair) with Olly Kohn and Leon Lloyd, and is free to play again on November 2.

Oghre will miss Wasps' games with Exeter Chiefs and Saracens, but could return to face his former club Bath if he applies to World Rugby for a Coaching Intervention and completes the intervention to the satisfaction of World Rugby then his suspension will be two matches.

Thanks for clarifying. So Oghre and hopefully Frost available for Bath.

Dan Frost, probably not:

"But head coach Lee Blackett confirmed it was the ankle injury that was being treated while Exeter scored their second try with the man advantage that will sideline Frost.

"He could be out for anything up to around four weeks with his ankle," he said. "Well, four to six, is the prognosis but Frosty's as tough as they come. He reckons by the end of the week he'll be running on in, and he also reckons his head's alright as well so he's a tough one."
