For the second week running Wasps were the last team to post their team. For the second time running they announced a short-term loan signing to bolster their numbers.
For their visit to Exeter they have posted a team of 15 plus just three replacements. I recall seeing only 21 names on Giselle Mather’s list in recent seasons, but a total of 18 must set a new and unwelcome record.
It leaves you shaking your head in disbelief; how could it have come to this pass?
Is anyone responsible for the demise of one of women’s rugby’s most senior clubs?
Can we be sure the company placed in charge of the Premier 15s affairs has ensured there can be no repeat of this dreadful outcome?
We must hope the Chiefs can express some sympathy for their opponents’ position.
