Tough school when Tom Willis can't get a start after the way he's played this season. Them's the breaks. Disappointing season for Odogwu and Umaga?

Looking forward to this one. Both sides can really put the ball through the hands when the mood takes them. A shame that Edinburgh have so many injury's, especially a few that are missing in the pack, though a good test for young Boyle to continue his development against a very good backrow.

Is Hougaard the most disappointing signing of the season? Always seems stick out on the wing.

Hourgaard has had a few injuries, but he's a multiple springbok capped winger. It's not like he's being crowbarred into a position he's not used to. His defence out there is brilliant too, and he's been very handy in attack there too.

Over the past couple of games, Hougaard is keeping Odogwu out of the side on merit.

I’ve said it before but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it still really irks me that Barbeary’s development looks like it might come at the expense of Tom Willis (who IMO is a better Number 8 at this point in time).

Scrumhalf is a more influential position than winger though. Cant imagine that they signed him with the intention of him standing on the touchline most of the time.

comedy from wasps

lamentable attacking in the red zone

Would be tempted to sub Robson off at halftime. Think he left his brain back in England. Wasps just need a bit of calm and control.

Wasps giving a masterclass in managing to screw up an advantageous position in the opposition 22.

Helped by a ref who seems oblivious to the option of a yellow card for persistent infringements.

in fairness they were a mix of mainly scrum issues , then a substitution to fix that and then a maul drop. Wasps were ut lacking control and sense

Hougaard has asked to play wing by all accounts. He is probably the most physical winger we have

Honestly think wasps would have been better playing with 14 instead of Robson lol

Peej · Post by **Peej** » Sat May 07, 2022 2:05 pm

Wasps just don't know how to win games
