Perhaps Billy over Lima is the fact that Billy knows Pat Lam's approach and some of the weaknesses in the Bristol team, admittedly he has never played with some of the opposition. And, to be fair to Billy he has played well for Wasps when required so I do see some sense in that selection, with Lima coming on later.
I find Bristol a little bit of an enigma, when you look at the team on paper they should do well but seem to struggle and are pretty inconsistent. I suspect it is down to the team not gelling yet, as with all teams that come up from the Championship, they tend to bring in a lot of expensive and allegedly experienced players for the GP but it still takes time for that team cohesion to materialise. The same can be said of Wasps this season as some of the additions like Lima are taking time to settle in, as so much change has taken place either new players or injury driven.
On balance I think Wasps should shade this one, the team is mainly very experienced and has the necessary firepower to overcome Bristol. We need Gaby to turn up, I suspect he is playing for an extension so it is down to him. Campo on the wing is something we haven't seen really, that will also be interesting as the Quins unveiling didn't happen the week - even the lure of free Maserati parking didn't accelerate it.....
