If you could get a fly on the wall look at Wasps behind the scenes during the off season what would you like to see?
Purely hypothetically of course ;D

In terms of new signings I'd like to see Vellacott. I think we've acquired a serious talent there. I'd be interested to see how Gopperth is going as he is so crucial to us. I suppose I should have a look at a forward so I'd have a look at Toomaga-Allan in the set piece.

Don't limit yourself to just the players. How about Abi in the kitchens? How about Pudsey sporting kit?
What about the coaches? Do we want to see them and find out a bit about them?
Hiw about the pitch? Do you know what a hybrid pitch actually looks like close up? I don't?

I’d like to see what next year’s kit looks like
Always a sucker for some new stash

Dai mentioned about reducing injuries. I would like to see all of the staff and players and contracted experts putting their heads together in a David Brailsford type of marginal gains approach all about reducing major injury, try and find something there as for two seasons we have suffered.

I'd like to know what are the 3 (or 5, or 7) things that the analysts are looking at in a live match situation. Defensive spacings? Bounce time? Etcetc.
I'd like to know if there's a focus on the real basics in coaching. I know I felt I learned a lot when we had an ex B&I Lions and Quins coach, come and give a session on lineouts, even though there wasn't any contact etc, it genuinely felt instructive, and helped improve part of my game, rather than just running drills.

I would rather be a fly on the wall at Sarries and see their salary bill.... ;)
If not then ours.

It means rotating players, rather than playing the best team he can make from whoever is fit. Dai can be a bit behind the times on these issues.

It could be, although Sale seem to play best available with a small squad and have a pretty good record. Apparently they do contact little and often in training.
Edit- based on what Diamond said in his rugby dungeon interview.

Do you know what a hybrid pitch actually looks like close up?
I have been on the pitch at Twickenham, which is a hybrid. It just looks like every fine grass, you couldn't tell it wasn't natural.
The fibres running through it hold it together & prevent chunks rolling up like carpet. It requires as much looking after as a grass pitch but, assuming the drainage is constructed properly, it wont end up a mud bath or with enough sand on it to be a beach!
