London Wasps J.P. Morgan 7s squad named
London Wasps have named a youthful squad with plenty of experience for Friday night’s J.P. Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s Series at The Stoop.
Jack Wallace in action
Senior squad players Sam Jones, Chris Mayor, Jack Wallace and Matt Everard provide plenty of experience to the group, who despite missing its international U20 stars who are still resting from a busy summer, includes plenty of up and coming faces at London Wasps.
Academy youngsters Liam O’Neill, Will Robinson, Mitchell Tamiau and Jonah Holmes are all included, with that quartet hoping to impress on a big stage at this early stage of the season; while making the step up from the London Wasps AASE set-up is Jono Woodward.
Also in the squad are three guest players from clubs with strong links to London Wasps. USA international Derek Asbun is named alongside his Oxford team-mate Sean Morris, while Dan Wells represents Henley.
London Wasps High Performance Manager James Wade said: “This is a young squad but we’ve got some strong first team senior squad experience in there. The J.P Morgan 7s is a great chance for some of our youngsters to have a go at expressing themselves on a big stage and showing the coaches what they can do ahead of the season.”
London Wasps face London Irish, Harlequins and Saracens on Friday night with the top two seeds going through to the Series Final.
