- By IZZY SANDERS

THE Wasps squad received a big send off from fans and schoolchil­dren as they made their way to London for the club’s biggest game in years.

Wasps take on Exeter Chiefs in the Aviva Premiershi­p Final at Twickenham today, 2.30pm kick-off.

Among the well-wishers waving off Dai Young and his team from their training base at Broadstree­t RFC yesterday were pupils from President Kennedy School and Community College and the Godiva Academy of Performing Arts in Coventry.

Verity Brown, community developmen­t manager at Wasps, said: “The training ground was absolutely buzzing with people wanting to wish the players well.

“I’ve been out and about in the region and the excitement has been building all week.

“Now the final is almost here and we can’t wait to head to Twickenham to support the squad as they try to bring home the Aviva Premiershi­p trophy, after what has already been a sensationa­l season for the club.”
