Hopefully some good will come of this.

They made a statement about this taking place a while ago but had gone quiet so good to see it is actually happening, although the RFU will just blame the owners without looking at the bigger picture, and state that neither club really supplied any England players in the last few years, as thats all they are interested in.

Interesting there seems to be no Wasps representation I guess unlike a lot of other clubs Wasps never really had a supporter's group as such, perhaps something that should be rectified when the phoenix rises.

It was set up before Wasps went to the wall (after Worcester though). Once they set a session like this the invitees are fixed.

Wasps supplied a lot more these past few years than Worcester. Joe, Dobby, Jack, Tom etc. are all complimented by the Jacobs and Paulos on the fringes of the squad, but more importantly, what about Daly, Billy V, Will S etc? All came to rugby via Wasps.

But only Joe (if that) could be said to be a regular in recent years. The rest were part of Eddie's try and discard system. Elliot left pre covid and Billy at the dawn of history (according to the RFU).

I'm surprised Rob Baxter isn't representing both the RFU and PRL..!
