I like the insight into some of the banter. Wonder if Rooory will be playing on Friday.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Team for Quins?
« on: April 26, 2017, 09:50:49 AM »
If we can win this game then there is a chance to get players back into the team for the Sarries game.
Sarries could end up a very weird game if a dead rubber. Certainly wouldn't want injuries from it, winning wouldn't matter, but losing the home winning run in the last game before knock out rugby against potentially the same team would be a psychological problem at least. If we beat them I'd also be worried that they would 'work us out'. I guess one step at a time, throw everything at Quins.

I think that unfortunately for Cipriani, the Gopperth and Beale combination is becoming a threat to him starting. I wonder if Cipriani was protected more by Sam Jones at the start of the season? No chance to try things now though unless the Sarries game is a dead rubber. Sadly for Bassett that he has ended up with WLR slotting into his spot best if Miller is fit, but Dai doesn't normally bring players straight back to a starting spot though and this is a key game.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: A-League Semi Final team up (tonight).

Quite a few familiar names, sadly a few that won't be with Wasps next year, really hope they can go on a high and make it to the final on 2nd May.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Try from a conversion?
« on: April 23, 2017, 09:24:56 AM »
Just watched Paul Sackey score a try from a Jonny Wilkinson penalty kick at goal. Got me wondering if you can score a try from a conversion attempt in a similar way like a cross field kick), or is the ball only in play if charged down or comes off a post?

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Ricoh seats
« on: April 23, 2017, 08:08:52 AM »
That's a surprise, I really hope that this is due to a sponsorship deal requiring it. I have never felt that seat colour was important and understand it is important to supporters of CCFC. Perhaps it means that there is no chance of a deal for them to play at the 'RICOH' (or new name) next season.
I hope I still have a soft seat after the change, might sound silly, but that was one of the reasons I picked the location and price band.

Yes, they are radio (or audio) shows that you download over the Internet.

It always seems odd that our forwards get more international call ups whilst less so from our backs, albeit Daly now bucking that trend. Is it that international teams go for mobile forwards and bigger backs?

I was drawn to them due to the looping news and lack of rugby sports news on the radio when driving (can understand, given the popularity of football). There would definitely be a place for one in the format of a news bulletin with a little analysis once per week during the season. In fairness I would probably already know about Wasps, but would still (usually) enjoy hearing about it.

I get the impression from his Cov Telegraph interview that he will start Gopperth with Beale at 12 and WLR at 15.

« on: April 18, 2017, 09:00:26 PM »
I really enjoy the Flats and Shanks pod cast, quite like Five live, but struggling with the Egg Chasers and wish I liked Andy Goode's one more than I do.
I have a pod cast app so I can download and listen to casts on car journeys for work through the car audio.
