Wasps vs Tigers
Despite us not winning at Adams park since 2007 I'm fairly optimistic with our chances. The form of certain players coming into this game is promising and with the likes of Deacon and Murphy to come back into the squad I think we'll do quite well. The team I'd like to see is
15. Geordan Murphy (c)
14. Mat Tait
13. Matt Smith
12. Daniel Bowden
11. Niall Morris
10. George Ford
9. Sam Harrison
1. Boris Stankovich
2. Rob Hawkins
3. Fraiser Balmain
4. Louis Deacon
5. Graham Kitchener
6. Brett Deacon
7. Julian Salvi
8. Jordan Crane
16. George Chuter
17. Jonny Harris
18. Keiron Brookes
19. Ed Slater
20. Richard Thorpe
21. Micky Young
22. Matt Cornwall
23. Adam Thompstone
15. Geordan Murphy (c)
14. Mat Tait
13. Matt Smith
12. Daniel Bowden
11. Niall Morris
10. George Ford
9. Sam Harrison
1. Boris Stankovich
2. Rob Hawkins
3. Fraiser Balmain
4. Louis Deacon
5. Graham Kitchener
6. Brett Deacon
7. Julian Salvi
8. Jordan Crane
16. George Chuter
17. Jonny Harris
18. Keiron Brookes
19. Ed Slater
20. Richard Thorpe
21. Micky Young
22. Matt Cornwall
23. Adam Thompstone

Re: Wasps vs Tigers
Good looking squad, would Anthony Allen not be in there somewhere,I expect him to be released by England.

Re: Wasps vs Tigers
My Mum is a Wasps fan. I want this win so much!
Re: Wasps vs Tigers
Agree with that side other than I would start Slater at 6. Hopefully Murphy is fit, Tait has to play IMO. Also feeling confident for a win, an lbp would be ok but disappointing. Keep winning and wait for the others to slip up! Tigers by 5+ IMO.
Re: Wasps vs Tigers
What has happened to "Long Time". I know he picked up an injury several weeks back but is there any news in his return. Obviously this will never be published on the tigers website and I understand why until it is set in stone but we are missing his scrummaging.

Re: Wasps vs Tigers
Waldrom and Allen released by England, both straight into the Tigers side IMO.

A good chance to see Waldrom and Crane in the backrow with a proper seven. Slater on the bench rather than at 6 now IMO, even though he has been playing well!!!

I'd go for a team of
15.Murphy (C)
14.Morris
13.Smith

1.Stankovich
2.Hawkins
3.Balmain
4.Deacon
5.Kitchener
6.Waldrom
7.Salvi

18.Brookes
19.Slater
20.B.Deacon
21.Harrison
22.Bowden

Re: Wasps vs Tigers
With TTTE back he should play No.8 and Salvi at 7. Doubt it will happen but on recent form for Slater to lose his place while Crane keeps his would be outrageous!
Re: Wasps vs Tigers
From a Tigers perspective it's great to see Haskell replace Waldrom in the England squad.

Re: Wasps vs Tigers
Definately a good looking squad...although should Tait be dropped for Murphy? Think Murphy would be a good replacement with say 15/20 mins to go to either see the match out or to spark some life in to get the win.
