Speaking on BT Sport, Wasps legend Lawrence Dallaglio addressed the clubs uncertain future could lead to them entering administration.
However, a lot of fans were not happy with his statement.
One fan wrote: “This is appalling from dallaglio. If the RFU and Premiership rugby have any integrity then it won’t matter that wasps are a so called big club. They will have to face the same music as Worcester. Stop giving this bloke a platform to speak. It’s a clear conflict of interest”
“His argument is literally “we’re a big club so shouldn’t face the consequences of our reckless gamble”. We’ve all had to compete with Wasps getting the benefit of that £35m bond. Now they have to face the consequences of taking it too,” said a second.
A third added: “Disgusting take Dallaglio Wasps previous history has nothing to do with it. Do not dismiss what happened to us as something that shouldn’t happen to Wasps ‘cus history’ Pathetic from BT Sport to keep doing this
Lawrence Dallaglio snubs Jonny Wilkinson from his All-Time World XV
England legend Lawrence Dallaglio has picked his all-time rugby XV for the Times.
He talked about the brilliant players that he has played with and watched. Then he decided to pick his best XV, with all the players that would make up a team of an all-time rugby XV.
However, despite selecting Jonny Wilkinson in his all-time England XV, the 2003 World Cup hero missed out on a spot in his teammates World XV with Australia legend Michael Lynagh instead taking the number 10 shirt.
Check out his full selection below.
15 CHRISTIAN CULLEN (NZ): Comes down to Cullen or Serge Blanco. While Blanco might have been a great player for a longer period, Cullen’s best years were sensational
14 DAVID CAMPESE (AUS): Wasn’t always generous in his comments about England but he was a great player and, really, he walks into the team
13 JERRY GUSCOTT (ENG): The way Jerry could accelerate onto a pass made him unique in my eyes. One of those players with the ability to do something that changed a game
12 FRANK BUNCE (NZ): Lots of people will say ‘how can you not pick Tim Horan at No 12?’ Horan was a great player, a better attacker than Bunce but I loved Bunce’s physicality
