The mood’s positive and we’re ready now for Sale says Young
THOMAS Young is keen for Wasps to take their impressive European form into the Premiership campaign.
The captain was thrilled with the way a much-changed outfit dealt with Montpellier but also had one eye on the visit to Sale Sharks on Boxing Day.
Flanker Young said: “Momentum is huge in rugby and winning back-to-back games in Europe should give the boys just the lift we need to go to Sharks.
“We have a really good mix of youth and experience in the squad, and more youngsters coming through who are pushing the more established guys.
“So the mood and feeling around the Ricoh right now is very positive. We still have plenty to work on and get right on the field. But there’s no reason why we shouldn’t improve our situation in the Premiership.”
Head coach Lee Blackett said: “We have been a bit hit and miss in key areas around the field. Some things are working while others have taken time to get the way we want them. It will be a tough challenge up at Sale as it always is against them.
“Our speed around the field tonight and our carrying intent improved again. We’re just starting to click. If we’re being honest we’ve been a bit off the pace since the restart.”
