Always a Wasp

I think it is good intentions, but wouldn't do that to myself. It isn't just that I have lost interest in Prem rugby, it is literally irritating to me now. I have a funny feeling that if I do dip my toe back into watching club rugby, it will more likely be Top14. Maybe see how the ex-Wasps are getting on at Racing.

Thanks VV, trolls never bother me, but they have been clogging up the threads recently.

I think it really sank in today, no morning all, no wondering how players will fair and all of the discussion before a game. The optimist in me has conceeded.

This has been a great place to come to when needing a break from the real world, seems odd to lose its reason for being.

Maybe, like me, they don't believe that a sports trick cyclist is a real job.

I am a bit that way as well, but I do believe that a lot of sport is in the head and you have to train how you react to situations. It doesn't look like Lee is going full on Stuart Hooper just yet though.

Well, I will certainly be watching a few more Racing games. Not that they weren't a good watch anyway.

The press always seem to focus on the big name players who are often past their peak (if still very good) and the authors rarely have the knowledge to look at the players coming through and give meaningful insights on the new players. I think Wasps focus on bringing through academy players and spotting talent in the championship has been timed really well and ahead of many other teams. Many of the big players in the team now are still relatively recent promotions or players from the championship who's potential was missed by other teams. The big name players all came from somewhere.

Seem to remember Houghaard's best games were when he played on the wing. Maybe that was just the way those particular games played out with all of the disruption.

Nuneaton seems to be attractive to premiership players and not just coaching. Rob Cook went back there to play when he left Gloucester and took a teaching job at King Edwards School in Stratford-upon-Avon. I wonder if Rob Miller has anything else planned, agree that he is too good, but perhaps he has had enough of playing in the premiership and wants a career change.

I’d still love to see them do all under 10’s for free.

That was the case a few years ago, obviously had to be accompanied. My daughter's season ticket was something like £10 nominal. Only got a year before she was too old, so not sure when that was stopped.
