Title: Wasps Academy game?
Post by: Chunky24 on January 05, 2023, 08:27:52 PM: Assume that this Wasps u18 game is happening this weekend as Prem Rugby u18 programme resumes, it has a time and venue, not seen anything about it anywhere else.

Post by: St Bruno on January 06, 2023, 05:38:29 PM: I see that Reuben Logan (son of Kenny) is listed and also Charlie Myall (any relation to Kearnan, I wonder?)
Title: Re: Wasps Academy game?
Post by: NellyWellyWaspy on January 06, 2023, 06:13:45 PM: I see confirmation that these academies are no longer being run by Wasps and Worcester Warriors, but are being 'run by the RFU', and named as Midlands West (Warriors) and Midlands Central (Wasps).

As Warwick School was officially in the Warriors catchment area, for them it is a 'Home' game.

Post by: JonnyD on January 07, 2023, 07:04:07 AM: Don’t think Myall is related to Kearnan but is tipped as one to watch, as is Will Glister on the wing.
Alfie Bell’s brother at lock too

Post by: Steve from Cov on January 07, 2023, 04:23:53 PM: Midlands Central (Wasps) held out at the end for a close victory in the end.

Some impressive performances by the Wasps and Wuss youngsters. Wasps forwards were dominant but Wuss had some exciting backs.

Don’t like to pick out individuals but I thought young Rueban Logan was very impressive. He plays like a young Tom Willis - very physical with good offloads.

Nice to see coach Ashley there on the touch line.

Sad to have missed it, but when my heart says take it easy today, I tend to listen. Not a spring chicken any more.
