There is nothing in that to explain the delay. Maybe midday will bring some light.

As expected but strange delay as said.

The article implies that 3 weeks can become 2 if Jacob undergoes the World Rugby intervention.

Yes, but that is standard for first high tackle red card offence.

Yes - it seems their standard these days.

The whole Disciplinary process needs overhauling quickly.

Interesting that no one else has picked up on the disciplinary report stating Jacob plays for Wasps FC and was doing so against London Irish.

Give the RFU another decade or so ...

I do admire people with such optimism

Really frustrating, was a lazy tackle with a few minutes to go.
He was getting more confident with each game as was our backline. Him and Wusty were looking more settled and now this has really hindered us unnecessarily.

Morning all, best wishes to you and yours. First things first, determined to start the year with a dog walk, paper and coffee in this unusually mild weather.

Looking forward to the game today. I was interested to read Lee's comments about the impact of injuries on training with the lack of players to train against leading to wingers playing against props etc. It is one of the unseen impacts of the injury crisis. Lots of admiration for the wider squad stepping up to hold the team together in less than ideal circumstances.

Here's to a great game and hoping Wasps have turned a corner and (to a slightly lesser extent!) Sale can also be in good form today. To my simple eye Sale seem to be more together when AJ MacGinty is playing, so expecting it to be a tight and tough for Wasps.

Safe journey travellers, Come on you Wasps!
