A good read. The margins are narrow.

Joe L has nearly 70 England caps and it would be 100 if he had avoided the neck and knee injuries. But his Wasps legacy is 2 lost finals. He deserves more.

“Successful teams tend to be a mixture of very good coaching but also a group of players that are able to challenge each other and a group of players that are able to challenge the coaches and vice-versa. The best teams I played in were coach-led but tended to be player-driven

Just like Jones and England then......

That's a cracking article and brings back so many amazing memories.
That season was an absolute classic.
England World Cup Champions....and then Wasps wiping the floor with everyone else.

That was an amazing year - 2003/4. The roller coaster started the previous year when the move to HW happened. Happy days through to the end of the 07/08 season (coinciding with Lol's retirement). 8 trophies - two Heinys, 1 PP, 4 Premierships and 1 AW.

With the ex academy lads who have now established themselves in the squad showing a lot of promise plus some astute recruitment, I fancy hat we might pleasantly surprised next season.
