What pleased me the most is now we are starting to get a couple of regular first teamers back from injury the standards are starting to lift. A key metric to squad development is this. Suddenly all those horrible losses, deflating injuries start to pay off because those still standing have gained experience that will hold us in good stead when those we know can perform at the highest levels return....and every team needs strength in depth.
And perhaps that's why todays win meant more than the 5 points gained. We have not got anywhere near our full squad back...but when a couple return the whole performance standards perceptively rise. London Irish have made huge strides this term, and are a challenge to anyone, and we kept them at arms length throughout. The darkest days preceded the brightest future, today feels like we have just glimpsed the first rays of sunlight...and when that happens you know it will only get brighter!!!!
I love being a Wasp!!!
