An all-round gent and good guy and the perfect role model for our Academy lads.  Wasps will be poorer for his absence, but it does give another similar player to drop into the role - Jimmy as already mentioned or perhaps Ashley would be great candidates.

Interesting that Gustard has gone to Treviso.  Once the dust settles on COVID, i'm sure it'll be a lovely change of scenery for him and his Family - A few years in Italy would be a lot of fun, especially with someone like Andrea to help show you around!

Really sorry to see Andrea leave but as everyone is saying, it was inevitable he would look to step up in his coaching career. (I hope that is the only reason he's leaving and it's nothing to do with Brexit b******t). I was delighted when we first signed him, he always stood out playing for Italy and he most certainly did not disappoint in a Wasp shirt. VV thanks for the reminder of the hit on Waldron, fabulous moment. One of the downsides of the move to Coventry was the disruption to the Academy but with Andrea's involvement it is once again proving to be invaluable in bringing young players through and the standard of those players is astonishing. It's been great for the club to not have to rely on the revolving door of expensive overseas players.

Best of luck Andrea, don't forget, "Once a Wasp..."
