Tom youngs wife, is terminally ill, so ben is out. Sad news, but who will benefit. Care? Laidlaw? Simpson,Robson?

Really sad news. And while I kinda expected to lose one or two from the squad today it wasn't like that.

Terrible news.

As to a replacement, I suspect Laidlaw.

Terrible news for their family.  Huge respect to Ben for making this decision.  It would be lovely if there was a way us Wasps fans could show them our support at the semi final.

I agree, it would be good to do something. Hard to think what what be appropriate though. I think Tom Young's wife is called Tiffany. Is Ben available / playing in the semi-final?
