The first game of the season, a friendly vs Finchley who we played last year at home.We were missing a few key players due to injury and other reasons, however we still had a solid squad and warm up suggested we would do well.
A hard game with intensity from the start which Finchley dominated with their speed to the breakdown, rucking and counter rucking effectiveness and physicality.
Wasps put up a good challenge, never giving up, with some standout performances and moments, which delivered some good momentum at times.
However, some clear areas to work on in the coming weeks before our first league game
Score slightly flattered the opposition, but at least we were on the score sheet with a converted try, and almost a penalty try.
We need to get back to the form we had at the end of last season at Guildford…so very doable.
