Wasps v Exeter (Saturday 15:15 - BT Sport Europe)

[WaspInWales]

They certainly threw a massive hypocritical tantrum in not picking Piutau.

Waisake Naholo is the broken legged one who was picked in his place. Used magic tea leaves or something to claim he was all better. Result is that he played all of five minutes in the RWC and promptly fractured the same bone in the same leg in the first game of SR.

No more magic tea leaf malarkey this time.

Perhaps a little dance on the pitch before a match will be of more help in future?

With a broken leg? I'm no physician, but I'd advise against it.

Some people believe having a little dance before a rugby match helps, just the same that some people think that using leaves to heal a broken bone will make the difference.

Yes, those British people are quite silly in that regard.

Oh no. Is that what it's come to?

Did zero just do a hate crime?

No, there's no problem with what he said at all.

Pipe down 3rd place pool minnow.

Only if another group, whether interested or not, stand a good few metres back making no return gestures and staying silent throughout, otherwise it'd ruin the whole thing damn it.

All part of the plan...

You just wait till 2019. If not, 2023 or possibly 2027 and if they fail, I've got a good feeling about 2031.

You just wait!!!

And that bloke couldn't get in the AB's RWC squad?

Only because NZ did not have the wit to pick him. The perfect bencher - covers 15, 13 and wing (and good enough to start too). I think they were pissed off that he signed to play abroad and leave NZ after the RWC. He certainly would have been a better choice than that wing who had barely recovered from a broken leg (can't remember his name).

...and look how it all turned out!

I think they did punish him for leaving enzid...has to be the right strategy though imo, even if in this case it was cutting off your nose to spite your face.

great film title!!

I'd just like to echo the comments about Baxter in the post match interview. No whinging or moaning, just a very classy interview. As a Wasps fan I feel abs gutted for Exeter, they are a quality outfit and it could have gone either way, simple as that. Hope they don't beat themselves up about it, it's not necessary.
