This is a serious cause for concern:

Wasps missed the most tackles of any team in last weekend’s round of fixtures (28) and have also missed the most of any side this season (389);

The full quote points to a very high scoring game.  That and the fact that they are also the top 2 sides for tries from turnovers and successful offloads.  Should be a great one for the neutral!

But hardly a surprise. It has been the weak point for Wasps season after season.

On another note, I think I saw somewhere that Bears are really short at scrum half, with just one left available in the squad; Theo Strang. They have to use Ioan Lloyd (a fly half) if a replacement is needed.
