Not stopping at the Grove for 18 holes and a spot of lunch, the U15 continued on to Fullerians to continue their league campaign

For once Wasps U15s didn't hang about and give the oppo a chance to get a headstart. From the off the pick and drive worked fantastically, well-marshaled by George Bridgewater at scrum-half.

When the ball then went out to the backs it was clear that a good scoreline was on the cards. All players lifted their game and all made yards, decisions and breaks, for which they can all be proud.

Hugo French opened the scoring and worked well with Omari Davies all afternoon. A second score from Hugo was followed by the scariest sight for any opposition player: Ehize at full-pelt. He scored a great try, that with the conversion and a sloppy return score for Fullerians meant that we went in 17-7 ahead at half-time.

The second half picked up exactly where the first half left off. Amazing forward play all round, with Zico scoring. Multiple Ehize tries followed punctuated by a beautiful backline move with a long miss-pass to Omari in space, Omari diving (unheard of) to make sure.

Bojan then got in on the act: length of the pitch, straight down the middle, no messing, score under the posts.

Weaknesses
Few to note. Training is paying off. Just a couple of missed tackles and backline getting out of position allowed the opposition to score two tries. A few too many off-sides..... learn to play to the ref!

Strengths
midfield tackling (Hugo and Matthew in particular)
continuity (Will, James C, Benedict, Zico.... and pretty much everyone else)
creativity (David, Hugo... and others)
power (Ehize, Zico, Benedict, Hugo... )
rucking support play (pretty much everyone including Ben, Sam T, Haydn, George R, Jack)

9 tries: Hugo (2), Ehize (4), Zico, Omari, Bojan
5 conversions: David

Man of the match: Hugo French
Mentioned in dispatches: Max Lloyd for a great first full game for the As. Tough, but came into the game as it wore on.
