Wasps v Bristol Sat 3pm

[fivepointer]

Not sure why Bris decided to kick too much against Saracens. It was very much outside their normal approach. Seemed a very odd way to approach the game.
They reverted to type against Wasps but the accuracy just wasnt there. I think they are a bit short of a gallop. No pre season games was a mistake in hindsight.
They've got a few players missing and a few others who just arent on their game. POC has looked quite poor, not sure Lieua at 12 offers them much, the locks are quiet and the back rowers just arent doing enough.
They'll come good. When they get into their stride they will start winning. Perfect game for them next up: at home to Bath.

I feel like I’ve been hearing Crossdale’s name for years but never seen him until yesterday. Is he not considered a fullback by trade?

He is and wanted to play full back though Sarries obviously had a fair bit of competition. He's said the opportunity to play there regularly was one of the reasons for his moving to Wasps.

THe lack of preseason games certainly looks a daft one!

Leiua has always been a bit of a liability at 12, would much rather Bedlow go there and give Frisch a chacne of the bench. Bates or Bailey over Adyolokun as well for me.

And if he plays like that every week Wasps won't mind at all.
