Wasps vs Exeter Sun 3pm

[Raggs]

Chiefs resting a lot, but Wasps can't take them lightly.

[Banquo]

In theory, easy for Wasps. In practice...let’s see

[Mellsblue]

Where is J Willis?

[Raggs]

Injured. No info on how bad.

[Mellsblue]

Cheers.

[Raggs]

Jack Willis' absence

Jack was selected in the original XV to face Exeter Chiefs but suffered a minor arm issue that rules him out.

Should Wasps progress to the semi-final stage, the expectation is he will be fit and available to train.

It also shouldn’t impact his hopes of receiving an England recall.

[Scrumhead]

I’d forgotten all about James Short. He had a great season for Exeter a little while back and then never got a look in again. I’m not sure whether it was an injury or something like that but I’m surprised to see he stuck around - he surely could have got more game time elsewhere?

Exeter have a really strong squad. Even this 2/3rd team is pretty good. I was hoping to see rus tuima the giant number 8 get a run but I think he must have a long term injury as I can't find any thing about him.

[fivepointer]

These games would be ideal for Tuima. He must be injured.

May be a 2nd string side but Exeter still have a number of good players to call upon. Young front row bound to be severely tested.

[Raggs]

Love watching Fekitoa tackling. Brilliant hit leading to a penalty.

[padprop]

Fekitoa is an absolute axe murderer isnt he

[padprop]

Be such a shame if Robson doesn’t get a run of england games. Unbelievable support lines and really improved nuts and bolts

[Raggs]

Robson having an absolutely fantastic game so far.

[Raggs]

Gopperth gets Wasps 3rd for half time. Now just need one more, and to hold the lead.

[padprop]

Bassetts had a real purple patch. Seemed to be on the way out this year but Blacketts shown a lot of faith and its been rewarded

[padprop]

Literally everything Barbeary does seems to do in attack leads to a clean break or a try

[Raggs]

Definitely a nice first touch. Glad we're taking Robson off early, wrap him in cotton wool now.

[Raggs]

Foley absolutely bottled that, no real competition in the air, Bassett clearly in possession and Exe not rolling away.

[padprop]

Barbeary again.

[Raggs]

Barbeary again.

Just lovely.

[Banquo]

Wasps deserve this- they’ve kept trying to play rugby and made the best use of their quite stretched resources

[Doorzetbornandbred]

These games would be ideal for Tuima. He must be injured.

Hes training with the Academy lads not the main squad for some reason.

[fivepointer]

Wasps very good. Far too much savvy for a game, but green Exe who got little from their more experienced players.

Robson looked sharp and - inevitably - Barbeary produced some classy moments.

[Peej]

Barbeary has shown up unbelievably well from a physical perspective in a run of games now. Having been a bit sceptical, a lot of the hype is justified, I think

[fivepointer]

He looks right at home. I think its reasonable to get a bit excited about this lad.
