Team to take on Glaws

Back to proper league action this week wth a Friday night visit of our old pals Gloucester. The cherry bombs are in sixth place while we are tenth however  such is the competitiveness this season there are only three points between us .

So a win for Wasps would be a massive bost in every sense and, frankly, needed to kick start our winter campaign.

There's a few international faces back, as you would expect. Thomas Young will be in the back row and Bomber Hislop in the front row. 

Josh Bassett will be  at outside centre apparently for the first time in his professional career.  Also a notable game for Elliott Stooke as it is his 150th Premiership game on Friday - against his former club.

Great news on the bench where Alfie Barbeary (right)makes a very welcome return after his long injury lay-off.

Wasps: 15 Ali Crossdale 14 Zach Kibirige 13 Josh Bassett 12 Michael Le Bourgeois 11 Marcus Watson 10 Jacob Umaga 9 Will Porter 1 Robin Hislop 2 Gabriel Oghre  3 Jeffery Toomaga-Allen 4 Vaea Fifita 5 Elliott Stooke 6  Brad Shields (capt) Thomas Young 8 Tom Willis.

Reps: 16 Dan Frost 17 Gordon Reid 18 Elliot Millar-Mills 19 Sebastian de Chaves 20 Nizaam Carr 21 Alfie Barbeary 22 Francois Hougaard 23 Jimmy Gopperth .
