I'm not sure if this might be a generation thing.. the Beano.. when I see Alex Rieder I think of Desperate Dan..

Chisseled stubbly chin.. massive upper body and spindly legs..

What other cartoon characters could play rugby.. Billy Whizz on the wing.. Denace the Menace at no 8

Not playing, but Nigel Wray must be the Mekon from The Eagle.

I always thought that was William Hague :)

True - looks wise.  I was thinking more along the lines of the persistently evil character....oh yeah, I can see that too with Hague!

As probably my favourite player - I feel that a piece of the Wasps jigsaw has returned. Even when Hask was towards the end of his career, he'd represent Wasps' spirit. You need players like that, its part of the shame that Jimmy is injured again

You can see similar in Barrett and Goode for the EA's, Barrett is probably first on the team sheet because he is the glue for the team.

He always puts 100% in. When he and GT were on the park together you could almost guarantee that we would be playing on the front foot.
