Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: The Future

If you believe Holland he?s only interested in the 5 year option anyway. Which points to another option being pursued beyond that. If you believe him.

Farrell was substituted on 58 minutes with Borthwick clearly furious as he threw a pass. Youngs came on at 9 and 10 to tighten things up and Marcus Smiths stepometer read 7 once the 80 minutes was done.

Most interesting bit there is that he obviously expects us to be playing in some fashion from May 24. In which league??

Shouldn?t have taken this long. It?s ineptitude on a large and continued scale. I did chuckle that the fear is ut could affect Englands RWC chances!

Carley was terrible. Welsh should have had a couple more yellows. Also, if I was North I?d be having a strong word with Biggar about dishing out criticism outside of the changing room.

You?ve got to give credit for the defensive intensity of England and Fords kicking. Argentina were just terrible. But it was such a dull game.

Very enjoyable game. The French will be difficult to beat on home soil. The draw means there are going to be some huge group stage games and some less so in the later stages. As an aside what a player Flament has become.

It?s the sort of decision that actually makes you want them to lose. It?s becoming clear that Borthwick is way out of his depth and has lost the plot.

One of the main differences between the cricket and rugby teams is the cricket team can reasonably call Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Anderson and Broad world class performers. Just under half the team. Borthwick is out of his depth but he?s plunged further into the mire as he can probably only call on Ford who maybe able to make a similar claim.

He didn?t get selected for England because he played for Wasps.

It?s an interesting statement. But surely CH is the current owner, not a former one. Also, if this was anywhere near the truth would it really be Wasps? And then there is the eternal question - where is the cash coming from?

Spot on isn?t it. And to make matters worse the players are becoming unlikeable. The whooping Itoje, the snappiness of Genge, the ridiculousness of Earl etc etc.

You?re absolutely right Bind. But England currently have a very shallow talent pool, poor selection policy and a style of play that is dull and unsuccessful. None of that is changing short term so your wish is a long way off.

If anyone was not already doing so, it now appears we can ignore Pudsey tweets. Last one spoke of two weeks (long since passed) and keep a look out.
