Weepu to Wasps immediately

Post by peeje »

Kiwi scrum-half Piri Weepu has left London Welsh with immediate effect and joined Wasps (reported by M Crowson on Twitter) - thoughts?

Oops - forgot to say that it is until the end of this season. After that I think I read somewhere he is off to France?

Shame on him! This smacks of turning your back on your team mates when the going gets tough. Yes, it's a short career and I have no problem generally with players going for the money if they want to but the timing of this is a step too far.

Alternatively Welsh have written off this season, know they're going down and they're letting him move on so as not to have to pay his (presumably) very high wages

Am I right in saying that Joe Simpson recently picked up a knock so possibly wasps 9 cover is getting a little thin.
Too late for Welsh this season need to get their ducks in a row for next

Player who looked well past his sell by date, carries too much weight, dont think he will be missed by Welsh!
