I get that it’s a top 4 clash away from home, but it’s still a shame to see Spencer dumped for Wigglesworth.

Seems an odd time for Wasps to rotate Launchbury out of the starting XV too?

Wasps look slightly weak compared to Sarries selection. No doubt it's with both eyes on next week. Ben Harris could have an uncomfortable afternoon as McIntyre's having a rest.

Launch replaced by Rowlands as he still hasn't recovered from illness.

Has Rowlands been injured or is it just a case of Myall and Gaskell being preferred?

It’s a good bunch of locks who all have different strengths, but I thought Rowlands looked like he could be the best partner for Launchbury earlier this season.

Rowlands has been injured, just back.

Great to see Billy and Maro back. Wiggy starting is a bit of a downer.

Wasps bound to miss Launch but this has the makings of a cracking game.

3rd choice loosehead, with academy (and 5th choice) on the bench. Scrums could get very messy for Wasps. I think Sarries could run power play after power play, and just grind us down.

How the hell is a hybrid pitching such bad condition?

Great play from sarries, look like a different team with the big names back.

I’m no expert but ......... two teams play on it and football length grass.

Billy looks svelte.

That must have been where sparky got the sack yesterday in the FA cup right?

Great hit from Armitage.

And great hair.

Ha. Billy giving the defence a headstart and then just charging straight through it.

Please stay fit billy.

This is starting to get ugly. Wasps offering very little in attack and Barnes doesn't like them in defence. Bit worrying.

I didn't expect it to be this one sided.

The game needed that.

Wow.

Things just got interesting.

Barnes has got balls.

This is the first time I've seen Sarries since before the Clermont game. Looked good initially but there seems to be something a bit off in their timing and co-ordination as a unit. It looks almost lie they're trying too hard to be dominant in contact and defence and are overstretching themselves.

How are we back to within 3? Always loved Barnsie, he's a good lad.
