Wasps Academy game?
« on: January 05, 2023, 08:27:52 PM »
Assume that this Wasps u18 game is happening this weekend as Prem Rugby u18 programme resumes, it has a time and venue, not seen anything about it anywhere else.

Absolutely no mention of that game anywhere. Just up the road from me, less than a mile from my dad & brother's house. It is also listed on the Premiership site.

Warriors v Wasps, wonder if that's a coincidence or by design.

I see that Reuben Logan (son of Kenny) is listed and also Charlie Myall (any relation to Kearnan, I wonder?)

I see confirmation that these academies are no longer being run by Wasps and Worcester Warriors, but are being 'run by the RFU', and named as Midlands West (Warriors) and Midlands Central (Wasps).

As Warwick School was officially in the Warriors catchment area, for them it is a 'Home' game.

Don’t think Myall is related to Kearnan but is tipped as one to watch, as is Will Glister on the wing.
Alfie Bell’s brother at lock too

Sadly, the weather looks absolutely miserable.

Midlands Central (Wasps) held out at the end for a close victory in the end.

Some impressive performances by the Wasps and Wuss youngsters. Wasps forwards were dominant but Wuss had some exciting backs.

Don’t like to pick out individuals but I thought young Rueban Logan was very impressive. He plays like a young Tom Willis - very physical with good offloads.

Nice to see coach Ashley there on the touch line.

Sad to have missed it, but when my heart says take it easy today, I tend to listen. Not a spring chicken any more.
