Always a Wasp

One of our (gymnast) girls is also an England Under 18 netball player. She was going to join the Wasps setup, based in Oxford.

However she eventually joined the Hertford Mavericks, earlier this season, as it was easier for her to get to training sessions there.

She was surprised to find they had been Saracens, as no-one mentioned anything to the players until after it had happened.

Definitely London Wasps

The Ricoh will be hosting one of the mens matches.

Who will be playing, and when, will be announced 27th November 2019.

Could play across the 3/4 line. Also played, once, at FH because the usual FH failed to turn up, and got it terribly wrong. However was good at drop goals - once scored 3 in a match, and got hauled across the coals by John Dawes for it - "drop goals are for avoiding the loss in the last few minutes"

However now that CMT has taken over my feet I can't run (as the neurologist said "of course you can't run -  think yourself lucky you can walk without a stick!"), so think I'd better just watch from the side lines

In the late 60s I was a winger and had to throw in.

Completely different in those days as there were no jumpers, and the throw-in was done from a side-on stance.

My first match for Wasps (not first team as you will gather) I had to play at scrum half, as the usual one didn't turn up. Never played there before. Halfway through the first half the hooker came to me and said put it in from the other f*****g side. I hadn't realised about the position of the hooker in the front row.

A don't usually take too much notice of many of the posts on the PR forum, as there are some real idiots that post on there. However my attention was brought to the one linked below (posted by someone called Mr. Very Popular)

IF this is true it is really worrying, and why would Costello be saying this anyway?

I heard at Toulouse a well-lubricated "Club high up" let it slip, amongst other thiings, that Daly is off because "he wants to play for the best side in England", and the driving force seems to be that his g/f is best friends with Farrell' g/f. The Club accepts that because he has been at the Club since he was at school, and they know that some players will always see greener grass elsewhere.

He also said that they were more upset by Hughes leaving because of all they had invested a lot in getting him his UK passport, treating his, mainly England, injuries and RFU "court costs", which they wouldn't be able to recover and other Clubs would get the benefit of.

I hated football as a kid, but loved watching Rugby on the box (ok it was usually Bath or Leicester matches that were shown).

I was taken to watch Wasps as a birthday treat on my 10th birthday, and with the exception of the Loftus Road era when I only got there a couple of times, I have been supporting them ever since, and have been a ST holder since they moved to Adams Park. I'm now into my 70s.

Started playing Rugby at school, when the, then, captain of Wales arrived as a chemistry teacher and introduced the game to what had previously been a soccer only school. Played a few matches for London Welsh and Wasps (not saying which team, doesn't sound as impressive as just saying the club names).

Moving to deepest Bucks, meant a change to Chiltern Rugby Club, but I also took up Stock Car Racing, resulting with a shattered leg that ended my playing career.

Took up coaching Gymnastics, which, although now officially retired, I still do.
