Glos at home are a tough nut to crack but Wasps do the personnel to make life very difficult. Limit the damage the Glos maul can inflict and they may be in business.

Big call at SH with Porter chosen to start. Been impressed with him this season.

Surprised to see Barbeary over T Willis maintained. That Wasps backrow really didn't function that well last week. On paper that's a good Wasps team, but they are playing so badly currently. Hard to look past a convincing Glos win.

Reckon that's pretty equal. Home advantage just enough for the win perhaps but whichever team gets discipline right likely to do the better. Suspect this will be close - lots of tries hopefully. Thinking aside from Slater and Polledri plus Evans on the bench, that might be our strongest side.

Not seen Booj selected for a while. Is he out of favour or injured? I’m guessing his contract is up at the end of this season?

He's always been a fringe 1st team player, he just played a lot due to all the Wasps injuries. Gopps/Mills are first choice twelves, with Fekitoa as a big backup. Fekitoa/Spink/Odogwu are the 13s.

Out of favour then.

Harsh if Tom has been dropped.
