Always a Wasp

Not a great game but still gripping. Bath worked their socks off but you always felt their legs couldn't last the game with the effort they put in. I was sort of supporting Bath because of Alfie (what bad luck to be taken off so early) and Stooky, but it was strange to watch a game without feeling tense when you have real emotional skin in the game!
Spoke with Danny Grewcock and had a laugh about how much we used to dislike him when Wasps and Bath had such a rivalry back in the day. I reminded him of being wound up by Lawrence in the Parker Pan final until he had a go and got sent off!!
Had a great chat with Sacks who was on really great form. He has not been involved in rugby for 10 years or so and is currently Commercial Director of York City after selling his car business. He also has a financial project underway but I can't say more than that.
Here is a photo from the day!

At short notice I am going to the Final as the company my daughter works for (Christopher Ward watches) are the timekeeper sponsor of the Premiership.
It will be Corporate Hospitality and will include the Hall of Fame induction which includes Paul Sackey so I will have a chance to have  chat with him.......first time in many years but I remember some of his great tries for us.
Does anyone have any particular favourite tries that Sacks scored for us?

Thanks VV.......it was really a case that you don't know what you would miss until that suddenly happens.  We all really appreciate your efforts!

Absolutely delighted for Tom. We could all see what a good player he is but under Jones he would never have got a look in. Borthwick is doing and saying all the right things so far as far as I am concerned.
Fingers crossed for Tom and I will be cheering him on whatever club he is playing for (OK maybe with the exception of The Cheats)

I would love to see Tom Willis back! Jack would be highly unlikely as I think Toulouse will want to keep him and he will be beyong the reach of a Championship club.  The other players I would love to realistically see back are Tim Cardall and Eliott Stooke.
As mentioned above, how wonderful to even be having these conversations again!

I will be at the first game next season for sure!!

Anyone found a reasonably priced flight to Lyon?

As mentioned on another thread this is the message on the BBC website on the Lyon v Glasgow match report

"Wasps will be at home for next weekend's match"

Where can we get an official ruling?

It would be great to watch Lyon at home!

Phew!!! I was seriously worried at one stage. Am on painkillers after a shoulder op but had to get a beer in the third quarter.......will be out with the fairies later!!

Very glad we saw that one out. Now for Bath or Edinburgh!!
