English Rugby enthusiasts!

Could you help me with something else that's been worrying me?


There is, I believe, an English Rugby Union club called London Wasps.

I understand the first team is very successful.

But I'd like to know if they also have a B-team.

You'll open a hornets nest with that one.

Bad enough to type London Wasps in to google?

I had no idea either - google suggests there is a Guiness premiership team, a Guiness A team and a Ladys team (at least).

Laurence Delaglio is their captain 'till the end of the season and Ibanez is playing this year. they have a very impressive list of capped former players.

Well done, John.

Well done, John.

The landlord of our favourite (near) local is a big supporter and often joins them on golfing trips etc. Pub has a few team pics on the wall.

I think they must have because I've heard many people say "B***** Wasps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brentford have got a B team... come to think of it, they might be better off playing rugby rather than soccer...

There you go:-

Seems to be an affiliated club. London Wasps exists for legal/marketing reasons I would imagine which handles the professional side.

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

As a rugby team who attracts approximately the same home crowd as a well supported League 2 Association Football team. Who gives a shoot?

Dave5 - I'm guessing the 'tongue in cheek' has given way to reason...

 

[Dave5N]

Yeah, well, I tried.

Straight lot here, ain't it...

 

[ChrisKH]

Lost on me. (Makes sound of air whooshing over head).

 

[Dave5N]

Someone please explain
