Looking back at the last Wasps team to play, I was wondering where they all ended up. It got me thinking that not all are ?starters? at the clubs they have washed up at.
I?ve gone with the original starting line up but also included the last minute changes, and actually just over half are regular starters at top level clubs.
15 ? Umaga ? starter for Benneton
14 ? Odogwu ? Starter for Benneton & Italian international
13 ? Odendaal ? At Saints but hasn?t played for them yet
12 ? Ryan Mills ? Played a few times for Sharks but not a regular & doesn?t appear to be there this season
11 ? Basset ? Starter for Tigers, but when Watson is fit, will he drop down? Was a starter for Quins but they had Green & Lynagh long term injured
10 ? Atkinson ? seems to be behind Shillcock now at Tigers
9 ? Robson ? Regular at Pau
8 ? Tom Willis (did not start) ? regular at Bordeaux & now Sarries, but will probably have to be behind Billy this season ? Morris - Retired
7 ? Jack Willis ? Starter at Toulouse
6 ? Carr ? regular at the Bulls
5 ? Kiran McDonald ? Starter at Falcons
4 ? Launchbury ? Starter at Quins
3 ? Koch (did not start) - Ryan ? Koch regular at SF, Ryan at Munster
2 ? Oghre ? hasn?t seemed to have settled yet. Started for Bristol but that was only so Thacker could play 7
1 ? Hislop ? regular for Edinburgh
Frost ? Regular starter at Chiefs
Martinez ? where did he end up?
Biyi ? Is he starting for Trail Finders?
Cardall ? Regular at Falcons
Curran ? Starter at Bedford Blues
Porter - Starter at Quins but assume he will be behind Danny Care
Haydon-Wood ? regular at Chiefs
Feyi-Waboso ? Starter at Chiefs

1 retired

14 starting at top level clubs, includes URC & Top 14
