This is very rarely a happy hunting ground for Wasps. If we can get an LBP I'll be happy. Hopefully not too much longer before a few more of the 18 unavailables come back into contention.

Both sides missing some key players.
Sale have been a bit of a mixed bag so far, much like Wasps. It could go either way.

Sale haven't played since Dec 12 and probably barely trained last week due to isolating following the Covid outbreak. Can see Wasps giving us problems today. Perhaps WE need to order the pizzas at 1.30 this time?

We had the same lack of training issue vs Munster, and have only recently had a few of those 18 currently listed as injured come back. Interview with Blackett said we'd been training with props on the wings. Looks like it's more sorted now though, but now we've lost our 10 (and Robson still out) with a relatively new 8, I think the spine there is in trouble.

Nice day for it. I'm sitting here with all my windows open in january.

Sale in control of the first half.

No idea how that Curry try was given, especially since it was massively influenced by Rodd being offside for their turnover.

Wasps are embarrassingly bad

So comfortable for sale. Wasps weren't really up for it today.

Sale won without having to do too much. Wasps didnt help themselves at times with some dull errors and poor option taking.

Very surprised the Curry scramble was allowed.

From this day forward and forever more the move will be known as the Curry Shuffle.
