Black and Yellow – is it pride or from the bruises?
Horizon sports caught up with London Wasps’ Head Coach outside the training ground today, Fase had these brief words to say,
“I just wanted to take this opportunity before this opening six nations weekend to demonstrate the pride and confidence that I have in our entire playing staff here at Wasps. With several of our players featuring over the weekend the rest of us will be taking some time off together to enjoy what should be a thrilling spectacle.”
When asked about how training had been going he reported:
“The boys have trained hard this week to bring themselves back up to their own high standard.”
Was he worried about the visit from Stad this coming week?
“We’re all looking forward to Stad visiting on Tuesday. They’re obviously being put up as favourites, maybe understandably, by the media, but I don’t think that’s fair on the basis of one bad game. We don’t pay any attention to anyone’s expectations except our own!”
Fase seemed to be looking forward to the clash of the two teams that have been involved in much of the ‘sledging’ of Wasps in these last few weeks …
“The Sarries, Sale game should be very interesting. My head says that Sale’s methodical style should do better than it did against Stad but I don’t think that Saracens will allow that without a fight, probably knowing Mctague and his ‘boys’, literally.”
“As much as one bad game shouldn’t see a side written off, one fortuitous result doesn’t prove anything either. Men and boys indeed!”
“To my mind Saracens haven’t played a “good, honest” game to date in this competition so it’s probably time for both teams to deliver!”
So fighting words from Wasps but time will tell if they can live up to the promise they showed when they joined the competition.
Roll on Tuesday :
Weather wise we are looking at a cold crisp night at both venues with maybe a hint of a shower, but nothing to bother the boys on the field.
