Fifty Up

Four Wasps are set to make their 50th appearance at Saints on Sunday which could well mean thay all have to buy a post-match round. 

Let's hope the beers will also celebrate a win. Jack Willis, Tom West, Jacob Umaga and Nizaam Carr are the players to reach their half century.

They'll start in a side led by Brad Shields with Joe Launchbury back in the England camp, and itching to get on against Ireland from the bench.

There's some positional changes with Jacob Umaga at fly half,  Marcus Watson dropping back top No 15 with  Paolo Odogwu and Josh Bassett out wide.

Up front Tim Cardall starts and Elliott Stooke will be in the engine room behind Tom West, Gabriel Oghre and Biyi Alo  with the Willis boys joining Shields in the back row.

Both sides have played 17, won 8 and lost 9 and are level on 43 points. Might be a draw...
