I understand that there is a training camp next week in Brighton for 5 days, but not sure which players will be allowed back to play next weekend for their clubs before heading to the main training base for 6N the week after?
Hopefully Alfie will be allowed to play next week as he is missing this week (especially if he can't train "fully" at the start of the week due to finishing HIA)?
I hope he gets a real "shout" with England for 6N as he absolutely deserves it, but like may other fans also hope he doesn't get "broken" by Mental Eddie!
To me the team looks set up to play some attractive rugby in a true Wasps style so could be a very interesting game as long as we can secure decent ball in set piece.

Although a few weeks ago we would have killed for this team in the prem, I am disappointed slightly. Alfie, Biyi, Jimmy and maybe Fifita being added would have increased our chances of an upset and had me fancying a win. A hugely depleted Munster had a stack of luck with red decisions and equalising late withdrawals for us in the home match, really wanted us to nick one away to even the score.
Still, things are on the up generally and a w next week is more important.

That Munster team is again shorn of some big names, but still plenty of experience. And being at home, with a big crowd, will be a huge lift. Difficult to see past a home win.

Should only be max 5k . I’ll be miffed if any more than that

Just been announced all bars in Ireland will be able to open up fully from tomorrow but nothing announced ref amounts allowed in stadiums ect.  I have been very lucky as a good friend is involved with Munster Rugby and I am going with him.  So may be the only Wasps fan at the game so keep eye out for the Black and Gold.  I will do a lone allez allez allez but may not be heard lol

Even in a crowd, you do rather standout, rather like an oversized Wookiee.

And now we meed something from the game.... If we wish to stay in the senior competition
Toulouse have forfeited their game v Cardiff, which rockets Cardiff above us and demote us into 9th position before a game is played.
On reflection, dropping down to the Challenge Cup may not be so bad, so maybe a win/win situation

We get a team with Miller, Mills and Miller-Mills ! Pudsey will be releived that it's a Euro game and there aren't names on the back of the shirts!

I wonder if all three of them will be involved in inter passing - commentators nightmare :)

buff, so many players straight in without gametime. Very difficult to get anything from this.

Murray will kick all and we don't have a good aerial team (11,15,14)

Happy if we will get a LBP

I’m rather surprised you don’t think Crossdale is good in the air?  And Josh is amongst the best kick chaser in the Prem, often gets up above defences to parry  the ball back.  And finally Watson’s sound under a high ball in kick tennis, not the best but not the worst.
