26 v 26 Final result

A fair result. A very good game to watch, on the 3G pitch.

Some stars in the making in both teams. For Wasps, and this would be difficult to single any player out, but ones to watch:

12. Charlie Myall. The 12 Wasps haven't had, but wanted these last few years.
13. Ryan Sweeting (reminds me of a young Malakai Fekitoa, the AB version, not the ageing one we got).
14. Sam Sinclair (reminds me of Odogwu, but faster).

Wasps started well, at one point 19-0. But started giving penalties away, a lot. Many break through runs, but unsupported saw them turned over time after time. Well in to double figures. Lineout performed well, but the scrum lacked power, and Yorkshire punished Wasps for it.

One more round to play at Newcastle next week, then a long winter break.
Thanks. Those youngsters sound very promising,  let’s hope they can fulfill that promise.

They have a great place at Aylesbury. A proper rugby club. Very welcoming.

Played there probably a dozen times whether for High Wycombe or Marlow. Always keenly contested Bucks derbies.

Thanks NWW. Good to hear we have some promising backs.

As an aside, it’s good to hear that Yorkshire Carnegie are competing and investing in their youngsters too.
