Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Tolouse v Exeter
« on: April 16, 2024, 12:54:44 PM »Most importantly at half time it could have been 3 English clubs in the semis - not quite the doom and gloom scenario some were forecasting
The doom and gloom is aimed at the millions of pounds the English sides are losing every year and not so much the quality of the playing squad.

After their recent tankings by Northampton and Bordeaux-Begles, I'm pretty certain it's well under way already.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: So what do we think is happening?
« on: April 04, 2024, 12:13:02 PM »
I think the club has put too much time and effort for option 1 to happen.
I'd guess the RFU will put a big enough carrot or stick to the current championship sides to make option 2 happen
I think option 3 is less likely than option 2

You would think so, but possibly not:

"Millions of fans have helped break viewership records this year"
Whatever spin they put on, it's obvious the viewing figures would of been higher with Wasps, Wuss and Irish
competing in the Premiership.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Wasps update February 2024
« on: February 26, 2024, 01:27:02 PM »I spoke to a person I know who has contacts inside at Worcester. He told me two separate people at Worcester said in past month URC is Wasps first choice, potentially taking a Welsh Franchise but RFU is fighting it to keep in new Prem structure. However some old friends in the Championship are fighting Wasps return there!
Very good news that a stadium and finances are in place.
So the RFU want us in a newly formed Prem 2 but a significant number of Championship clubs will fight that and Wasps want to join the URC but the RFU are fighting that.
Interesting times.

Wonky has reminded of an old joke
Is the motorbike still for sale?
Yes
What's the lowest you can go on it?
About 4mph, any less and I'll tip over!

I only went once, but it was the day of the Valentine Day's massacre!
You lucky bugger! The only time I visited the place was when they beat us easily in a Play Off Semi Final.

I'm glad for the bloke, was my favourite Wasps player.
A city break to Toulouse could be on the cards, Motorbike or Train I wonder?

Lets hope so, If Wasps, Irish and Worcester are forced into starting from the bottom tier then they will probably never be Professional sides again.
And if the Championship clubs think they can obtain significant investment without those clubs then they must live in cloud cuckoo land.
