Wasps buzzing for new season

We spent the morning in West London at Wasps’ training ground on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK. The charity, that supports those affected by the most common cancer in men, have launched ‘the blue’ - a new mouthguard created to  raise funds and awareness for the charity. So we took a few snaps of some of the players supporting the cause, and got a feel for how they are feeling about the new season.

There have been a fair few personnel changes at the club and the players seemed in good spirits and ready to improve on last season. The shining lights from last year such as Joe Launchbury, Christian Wade and Marco Wentzel are still there and have been joined by more top names, including Welsh internationals Stephen Jones, Lee Thomas and Rhys Thomas. Wasps fans will also delight at the return of England internationals James Haskell and Tom Palmer for the new season.

Wasps kick off their Aviva Premiership campaign on 1st September as part of the London Double Header against last season’s champions Harlequins. Keep an eye out for premiership players from all clubs wearing ‘The Blue’ this season.
