Less than two hours to kick off. Sunny drive through Cambridgeshire/ Northamptonshire towards our fate.

Just seen the team changes. Putting Zac up against Genge or Cole frightens me for the lad.

Looks a nice day so far so let's hope it continues this way!

Just spotted today’s referee Tom Foley at the back of a long & slow Costa queue I’d just got to the front of. In the spirit of rugby, I went to the back and offered to get him a coffee so he doesn’t miss kick off. He declined and waited his turn. I protested, he sent me back 10m.

 😀😀😀 offside ref, every time!

Tom West's withdrawal is more concerning to me than Fifita's.

Indeed scrums have the potential to not be pretty today.

According to Bobby, both have had to withdraw because of illness

Conspiracy theorist in me says that Fifita has been left out after the news in the press!

Great to see Gaskell back though

What’s happened to Martinez? Hope Hislop doesn’t throw himself around too much and get injured or carded as Nearchou could be in for a long afternoon.
Saying that Hislop at scrum time hasn’t gone that great either.

Good luck to Charlie Atkinson, hope we get some quick ball

[backdoc]

Gaskell now on the bench so not all bad.

Conspiracy theorist in me says that Fifita has been left out for leaking stories to the press!

Does seem a helluva coincidence

Wasps Reserves.

The reserves are Pieter Scholtz, Michael van Vuuren, Alex McHenry, Nizaam Carr, Luke Mehson

Scarlet fever?

Blimey....can we stop now?

[Vespula Vulgaris]

I can cope with the constant losses, I can cope with losing players, I can cope with poor communication. But if we start using the caterpillar I'm gonna find a new club...

[Bloke in North Dorset]

In both games I’ve watched this weekend knock-on advantage was over as soon as a kick was made, no matter the outcome.

Foley just let Tigers get away with that one.

It’s the lack of consistency across refs that’s the problem. Personally I prefer it being over.

Scrum getting smashed, not doing well against 14 men. We can’t even get out of our half.
