Hope for 2020 as 'annus horribilis' ends on a high

The 26-21 victory over Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate was only Wasps' 10th win in 29 games in all competitions during 2019

Apparently Dai was in the lift coming down to the dressing room and was incommunicado. Nice surprise when he got out  ;D

Mentions that it was the first Premiership try for Matteo and Malakai, but not Jacob? Fairly sure it was his first also?

See Bobby's headline in his report 'Dai's Thoughts After Defeating Bristol Bears' - Jacob Umaga, Matteo Minozzi and Malakai Fekitoa scored their first Gallagher Premiership tries in victory at Ashton Gate

Yes, a much needed boost. Also, looking at the matchday squad we had Owlett, Cardall, Willis, Umaga, West involved and whilst not all are academy players they are youngsters that we can build around. Couldn't help but look at the way Hughes played and the jogging and missed tackles from Piatau and feel we're heading in a better direction.

Agreed.
