Wasps are the reigning English champions, have won the Heineken Cup, and if they fire can blow away any side in Europe.

So yes, I think they have more than enough to beat Cardiff. Rush is nothing compared to Dallaglio, while Wasps have more than enough pace out wide with Lewsey, Sackey and Voyce. Not to mention a bench containing MVG, Simon Shaw and Rafael Ibanez.

so you think that wasps could "blow" away tolouse

When Wasps play to their potential, they can beat anyone. Toulouse are consistently at Europe's top table, and play sublime rugby, but can be beaten.

Saints managed it at home last season, and Wasps beat them in the final a year before that.

 

[loratadine]

yes but would they blow them away as you said

i think that is extremely hyperbolic

 

[Saint N Sinner]

I have to agree with Webby on this, Wasps are a great side, and can beat anyone on the day. I mean, WE beat Toulouse at home, and I was pretty shocked at that but if you play THAT well and dont give the oppostion the ball then you can put pressure on them and get a impressive score out of it.

 

[loratadine]

i think tolouse are such a good side that they wont get blown away for a long time.

 

[Saint N Sinner]

Depends who is doing the blowing.

It's an expression, get over it.

On their day, Wasps can thrash anyone in Europe, even the mighty Toulouse. Everyone is beatable.

 

[loratadine]

well i think the blues on there day could blow away wasps.

 

[Saint N Sinner]

If the favourites won everytime then, what is the point of competing?

It would make the sport boring, and what would be the point?

You think the Jimmies will score off the boot?

Twill be 20-9 IMO

(that depends on if they can keep the penalty count down however...)

No, two tries with 1 converted!

Is that 20-9 to Saints?

[loratadine]

the blues will shock wasps

im not saying therell win - but i think theyll get bonus point.

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

Nope, sorry I just can't see it happening.
You must remember I'm a Newport and Dragons supporter!

 

[loratadine]

i dont really support a region,

i support crosskeys, and have a really big soft spot for the ospreys and the blues, but would have to say i support them all - they are all there for the one cause and that to produce high quality rugby and produce a platform for the national team.
