Like all Wasps I'm hoping for a better season and a better future under the new ownership.

The recruitment so far has been positive. The pack, particularly in the back and second row looks much stronger and a few promising front rowers have been added. We still lack a dominating prop and a first choice hooker but things are looking up.

The potential playmaking axis of Simpson, Jones & Thomas looks good and we've got lots of talent in the back three. Dom will be a miss but I've got high hopes that Daly could be the man to fill his shoes.

Although I understand that he feels playing at the top end of the table and getting HC rugby will improve his England chances I do wonder how much rugby he's going to get going to a side that already have Burrell, May and the Pisi brothers amongst others.

Best of luck to him but in my biased/dream/fantasy world I think he might catch the selectors eyes a bit more being the number one choice, playing outside Stephen Jones behind a resurgent and dynamic pack.

I CAN DREAM CANT I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch indeed. Wonder what Wade and Launchbury will be thinking.

Looks like another tough year.

Have to say its a great signing for saints. I don't think anyone would have believed it if someone had told them 6-7 years ago that by 2012 Wasps would be in this state. Wonder how the likes of Dallaglio, Lewsey, Worsley, and Vickery feel when they see their former club like this.
