Wasps break another rule

[ellis9]

Yet another adminisitrive error from Wasps has seen them given a suspended fine.

They played 3 more loaned players than allowed in the AW Cup.

"In addition, a case against Wasps regarding a breach of Anglo-Welsh Cup Regulation 6.7 was heard on papers by Aidan O’Brien as a single judicial officer with the club’s consent.

Wasps selected and played six loan players (versus the permitted three) during its round three Anglo-Welsh Cup fixture against London Irish, on 27 January 2018.

The club was given a fine of £2,500, suspended until the conclusion of the Anglo-Welsh season 2018/19."

Do they have a counting problem, thought that was only the Ospreys

Mistakes happen. But when a 'grass roots' team does it, it often results in a points deduction. It should be a least a similar penalty for PRL clubs which should have the resource and infrastructure to make errors of this type far less likely.

Very true, my local team had points deducted over a paper mishap a couple of seasons ago.

You'd have thought that, with clubs having academies these days, that the bigger sides wouldn't need to lean on loan players so much

National division 1 is often considered stronger than the academy league - especially for the front row - so game time there may be more valuable
