Glad he is looking for players to bring in.

Yes, but not at the expense of the young guns.

Can we assume from this that Oghre and Zhvania are fit?

It's Wasps of course not!!

ZZ has been fit and ready for a while - he just dropped down the pecking order. With Harris injured, I expect he’ll see some game time as he rotates with West & McIntyre.

As for Oghre, last week it was reported that he was “returning to training from a back spasm and could feature against Newcastle Falcons next week.”

Well you can now add Alfie to those unavailable due to international duty list! Brilliant news for the lad but the timing could not have been worse for Wasps...

Back to the injury list, are Porter (toe) and Sirker (ACL) now fit?

From what I can read from various reports here are the estimated return dates for the injured:

Fekitoa - late January / mid February
Shields - late January
T Willis - no time line yet just 'for a fair amount of time'
Spink - late February
Harris - no time line yet just 'for a fair amount of time'
Miller - mid January
Watson - late December
Vailanu - mid December (previously January)
Curran - no time line yet
Simonds - late December
Mills - late December / early January (previously mid-January)

Some relief by year end but it is quite the list. Hope the Harris and T Willis injuries don’t have them out for too long.

Add Jacob and Alfie to the list now - Eddie has taken them!
