...Not looking good for Willy Le Roux's Wasps going into tomorrow's clash. -  Wasps missing several key players and taking on a Leinster side that is effectively Ireland. Leinster playing at home are also the defending champs and favourites to win the tournament back to back..


 For Wasps No8 Nathan Hughes is suspended...star halfback Robson with an ankle injury. Star wingman Wade also out ill. Captain Launchbury injured.


... Is Willy Le Roux coming back too soon though after his head knock ?.. may not be such a good idea,.. Nizaam Carr has the 8 jersey for Wasps and Juan Dejongh at 13......Wasps paying $5.75...Leinster $1.10


 Former AB Lima Sopoaga facing off against the Ireland flyhalf Johnny Sexton will be an interesting duel...and on the wing Wasps captain Elliot Daly will truly have his work cut out containing Leinster's prolific try scorer, former Chiefs star and Maori AB James Lowe... 

All free to air live on TVNZ Duke starting tomorrow morning 7.45am

Leinster were very clinical and relentless tonight. Lowe had great game and I would say was MOM.

Willie failed his head assessment last weekend.....but he's back playing for Wasps this weekend. Raaaight....the bs that is fed to the ever gullible SA rugby press and fans!

So Mozart has a problem here again.  Rassie replaced Le Roux because he failed an assessment - but he now implies Erasmus should have overruled the medicals staff and set him back after the assessment.

This BSter thinks he can write anything he wants to try and put some blame on Erasmus and the SA fans being bluffed by whom?

Let us look at another aspect of the game and that is the performance of another Mozart hero - named De Jongh.   He was a defensive sieve as per normal againsts tronger opposition.   The Leinster outside backs ran past him as if he was not there and he was an absolute flop on the day.  Yet it was last year when Mozart still wanted him at center.

I am waiting for a positive write-up by AO to support the shitbrain iro De Jongh .

By the way I do think that Lowe may qualify to play for Ireland and he is likely to end up in the Irish squad for the WC next year,

...notso clevermike if you had James Lowe as captain for yr fantasy team he would have earned you 72 points against the Wasps...he is the toast of Leinster atm scoring tries every game...but he does'nt qualify for Ireland til 2020 from what i'm told so no RWC 2019 for him...however Chiefs teammate BundeeAki will be there in 2019...would'nt be surprised if former Chiefs hooker Rhys Marshall was drafted into the Irish team either... 

Some reception for last night's Heineken Man of the Match from the #LaighinPit!
