Treviso resting Jacob but Paolo missing with a ruptured achilles. Happened in free play just before he scored last week. Strong enough to override the pain to plant the ball.
Malakai was his usual today with big tackles and a few runs.

Not sure if anyone else spotted this, but in the Quins Gloz game, when Joe Marler was being treated for his elbow injury there was a woman involved wearing a Wasps woolly hat. Not sure if she was medical staff, but nice to see none the less.

Possibly Bryony Cleall, she is forwards transition coach at Quins as well as still playing?

Possibly. I will have to look back over the game & check!
Not sure why she would be wearing a Wasps hat given she was only there for about half a season....

Perhaps she's an advocate of the "Once a Wasp, always a Wasp" philosophy

Burger Odendall started for Saints for the first time at the weekend. Looked OK in a fairly exciting back line.

Excellent news - could play for Italy during this period.

No but could become eligible for Samoa in July 2024 as more than 3 years since last cap and has heritage.

Watching Pau v La Rochelle to watch Dan (on the bench) and always get catch in my throat looking at the black and yellow supporters of La Rochelle.

Just watched Exeter v Saints

What a player Feyi-Waboso is already. A few errors, but hugely influential.
Fisilau pretty good too.

Great game

Now watching Will Rowland for Racing and waiting for The Wade off the bench. Later we have a session with Jack W.

Pleased for the number of ex-Wasps players who are thriving out there.  We're still missing Wasps, but quite enjoying our mini live-rugby fixes.  Off to Rome in a few weeks for the England game. 

We're targeting Racing92 vs Pau in the league in early June to try and get out to.  Keeping an eye on Benneton fixtures as well, as would be nice to see Paolo, Jacob, Minozzi and Fekitoa play but Paolo is unlikely to be seen anytime soon with his injury.

We've just booked to go watch Saracens vs Chiefs.  Feels a bit dirty, but likely to be a good match.  Had a bit of a quirk trying to book 6 of us across two sets Family tickets as it kept splitting us up.  Popped an E-Mail in to ask if there's a way to get us sat together and wife had a lovely call from their Head of Commercial to assist, as well as give advice on where to Park, what's going on before/after for kids and families and to ask what my wife thought they could do better to try and encourage more families to visit.  Was a nice, sincere touch even if it's not a club we're particularly fond of.

Also targeting Bath vs Saracens/Saints at the back end of the season.  The Saints game has the potential to be incredible.  But, if things continue there's a chance one of them fields a weakened team.  Tricky one as we'll likely have to commit to one (or both games) early.
