Dai Young wants Wasps to go 10 in a row over Bristol Bears

Wasps boss Dai Young said “every game is a big game for us” as his team look to recover from a poor start to their Gallagher Premiership campaign.

Young’s side lie 10th in the league table following the weekend’s 28-22 defeat to Harlequins, with a victory over Bath on November 2 being their solitary Premiership success so far this season.

Wasps have also lost three out of four pool matches in the European Challenge Cup, and they now face a Bristol team needing victory to go top above current Premiership leaders Exeter.

“Every game is a big game for us,” Wasps rugby director Young said. “It’s all about getting as many points as possible.

“Bristol have been going well and we know what quality they’ve got, but we went there last year and got the result, so we know we can do it.

“There is a lot of disappointment after the weekend.

“We need to take some real intent into this game, and if we play as well as we can, we will come away with the result.

“Every point is hugely important. You’ve got to try and come away with at least something from every away game, but we are going there to win.

“We’ve got to iron out the things that didn’t go so well last weekend and just keep working at them.

“We’ve got to keep working hard to turn things around.”

Young makes a solitary change for the trip to Ashton Gate, with number eight Nizaam Carr handed a start alongside back-row colleagues Jack Willis and Thomas Young.

Lock Thibaud Flament, meanwhile, has recovered from concussion and is among Wasps’ replacements.

Former England lock Dave Attwood returns for Bristol as one of two changes from the side beaten by Saracens last weekend.

Attwood partners Chris Vui in the second-row, while rugby director Pat Lam’s other switch is at centre, where Alapati Leiua gains a recall alongside Piers O’Conor in midfield.

Bristol are unbeaten at home in the Premiership this season, although Wasps have gone nine league games without defeat against Friday’s opponents.

A crowd of more than 20,000 is expected, with Bristol moving from third to first if they win.

“It’s a massive crowd on Friday and an occasion that we are really looking forward to,” Lam said.

“We know that there are Bristolians from all over the world coming home for the festive period, and we would love to gift them a performance to celebrate.

“Five points are on offer, and that has been the focus in what has been a short week.

“After last week’s disappointment, our best reaction will be what we do on the field.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
