Wasps team to play Bath Rugby at the Rec on Saturday
Director of Rugby Dai Young has named his Wasps squad to take on Bath Rugby at the Rec in round 13 of the Aviva Premiership this Saturday, as the two teams prepare for their fourth encounter of the season.
The only other change to last Sunday’s starting XV against Saracens sees Frank Halai return on the left wing.
George Smith will again captain the side after Matt Mullan was ruled out of contention through an injury sustained in training this week.
Director of Rugby Dai Young emphasized the need to look forward if Wasps are to continue building momentum: “Sunday’s performance against Saracens was certainly one for the memory banks, but that’s where it stays. We enjoyed Sunday, but from Monday morning all focus has been on Bath and trying to replicate the levels we reached last weekend.
“We all know how tough a side Bath are to break down, especially at the Rec. It’s been nip and tuck between us this season, with them pinching a win at the Ricoh and us pinching one back at the Rec. We know each other well and both teams will be aware of the quality in each side. I’m sure Bath will want to set the record straight and make it 2-2 after our win there in Europe, so we know they will throw everything at us on Saturday. We will need to be at our absolute best again if we’re to get the result we want.”
