I Love Wasps

It could have been a friendly pre-season; however, for Director of Rugby for Ulster, Les Kiss was still left hurt by the home defeat of last night to Wasps.

Two weeks are over from the first game of the side of the Pro14 campaign, opposite the Cheetahs. The Wasps were the second best at the Kingspan Stadium, by losing match with the score 26-15.

“Definitely, there is a disappointment,” said an Australian player who is entering his third season now at the province.

As long as Wasps can take a sliver of consolation from the sucker punch of losing the final in extra time of the match to their rivals, Exeter, then it can be found in the list of Premiership winners where six of the previous nine winners lost in the previous year’s final.

It’s now Exeter’s turn this year, twelve months after failing to turn up in the first half of their 28-20 lossto Saracens.

The Wasps have definitely been on a high this Premier League season and as the Champions Cup comes to an end there is more for the fans to look forward to. ‘

Indeed the most expert term them as Entertainers as the players can swashbuckle their way and put in a goal, even when there is no possibility in sight. This often brings about comparisons between the Newcastle United team of the late nineties with the current day Wasps. However the director of rugby of the team, Dai Young does not want more comparisons or hype to be made.

Wasps team would be seeing Kurtley Beale debuting in the team soon.

He is an international player in Australia who scored 12 on a total of 60 Tests that he appeared on behalf of his country. This year saw him out of the fields mostly as he was recovering from injuries for a period of seven months. Dai Young, who is director of rugby for the team, has confirmed his participation. Beale had agreed to join the team on 13th of May but he suffered a knee injury soon after the agreement was signed. At that time he had been playing for the New South Wales team in the Super Rugby category.

2003 World Cup winner and English Rugby legend, Jason Robinson has sympathized with Elliot Daly, in lieu of the recent red card and a 3 week ban handed to him after England’s game against Argentina just last weekend at Twickenham.

Robinson, who during his union career days, had played with huge distinction at the full back position and on the wing, also attributed Daly’s mistimed tackle to lack of experience in the position.

The Aviva Premiership game between Wasps and Bristol ended with a huge win for the Wasps and by virtue of this win the Wasps team is still unbeaten in this championship this season.

The poor Bristol side had nowhere to hide as they were thrashed by an inform Wasps team with a score line of 70-22 at the Ricoh Arena. This was one of the most convincing wins that wasps team has had this season.

The team has plans for developing a training center in their home ground of Coventry City Academy.

There are plans for developing a training center that would be worth seven million in pounds. However there have come by some objections to the plans. The funding is being considered for the Alan Edward Higgs center. The objections are for the plan applications that have been received. The plans are to redevelop a portion of the site that is used by the Academy of Coventry City. The club that belongs to the Premiership has plans to launch a training center along with the Coventry City Council.

The Coventry City Council has found itself in the midst of another controversy over its deal for the Ricoh Arena with the Aviva Premiership Rugby Football Union club the Wasps RUFC following the publication of the club’s latest account, which has revealed debts of nearly £ 22 million.

Fortunes are rising for the Wasps both off and on the pitch as they moved to the Ricoh Arena the previous year.

Most would have thought that the giants would not have been able to wake up from the deep slumber had it not been a rising gain in their fortunes. The status which the Wasps are trying to attain is plausible.

Aviva Premiership Rugby Football Union club player Owen Williams has refused to divulge any detail about whether he had actually spoken to Warren Gatland, the coach of the Wales Rugby Team about his future with the national team after putting pen to paper on a new contract with the record Aviva Premiership champions.

Williams did admit that the adrenaline rush of walking out on to the field in front of 20,000 fans screaming their lungs out was too good a rush to throw away and it was the main reason for him signing a contract with the club.
