Wasps A to face Gloucester United: Piers O’Conor; Tom Howe, Brendan Macken, Guy Armitage, Frank Halai; Connor Eastgate, Craig Hampson; Tom Bristow, Carlo Festuccia, David Langley (Cambridge), Marcus Garratt, Will Rowlands; Jack Willis, Sam Harry (Coventry), Alex Rieder.

Replacements: Luke Cole (Rotherham), Tom West, Tom Heard (Nottingham), Ehize Ehizode, Ali Bone (Coventry), Will Porter, Nick De Luca, Owain James

Good starting side, with a few good replacements too.  No idea how strong Glaws will be, but they've just played a tough euro game, but have some good depth I believe.

Quite a few familiar names, sadly a few that won't be with Wasps next year, really hope they can go on a high and make it to the final on 2nd May.

Is the game being broadcast live by any chance?

Looks quite strong to me.

I do not think so.

Gloucester twitter with plenty of updates, rather one eyed though (which is surprising for an official twitter, but less surprising given it's glaws).

13 - 21 to Wasps at the moment, 2 tries to one (we had one held up too I believe).

EDIT - Just been yellow carded for tackling before retreating 10m from a pen.

16 - 21 at half time.  Let's hope the next 9 minutes or so down to 14 don't cost us too much.

23-24 we get one back from yellow, but lose Rowlands to another for repeated infringements (collapsed maul on the 5m line).

I came back in and read this, so I checked the news .....  :(

I suppose it shows Dai has a definite work in progress to get depth into the squad. But we already knew that.

Seems like they played well, so good on you all lads. #COYW

PS, can we get a wasp emoticon?
