Re: Wasps V Saints Sun 3pm
Nervously looking forward to this one. From a Saints perspective it gives me a bit more hope that they are missing C Piutau and Robson. Although the backline is hardly weak because of it! Its a shame Burrell is out, I've not been impressed with him for the majority of the season but ever since we tried him at 13 his form has improved and carried over to 12. Thought he had an excellent game last week against Quins. As much as Mallinder gives us in go forward, distribution and kicking, I do fear that Daly and Piutau might expose him defensively. Harrison has hopefully been tasked with helping out there.

Re: Wasps V Saints Sun 3pm
Real test of Mallinder against Piutau the elder. He can be a bit powerderpuff at times, which isn't surprising at 19 and now playing against big fast men.
Wasps need Hampson to be really sharp to keep their usual momentum and urgency up throughout.
Should be great fun this.

Wasps are breaking the line quite regularly, but Saints scramble defence seems to be holding up so far

Indeed, I was hoping for Brookes to get some good game time to rediscover his early season form16th man wrote:Another nasty looking one as well.Adam_P wrote:Another Saints man going to be out with concussion now, to add to Dylan and Luther

Re: Wasps V Saints Sun 3pm
Why on earth did Myler go for a kick in that position?! Clinical breakaway from Wasps through some initial suspect defence

If anyone is there would you shoot the PA, please. I'll provide an alibi.

Re: Wasps V Saints Sun 3pm
Wasps lineout and general mauling is embarrassing. The maul is the one aspect that hasn't improved this season. Could cost us in the nitty gritty phase of the season.
