Rugby Union: Southwell seeks immediate response

29Mar 2013

London Wasps full-back Hugo Southwell admits it will be difficult to bounce back from last weekend's devastating loss to Northampton as they prepare for the crucial end-of-season run-in.

The High Wycombe-based team conceded a last-minute try to the Saints as they slumped to a 26-24 defeat but have an immediate chance to bounce back when they take on in-form Saracens on Saturday. London Wasps are 5/1 with bet365 to win the match by between one and five points and 22/1 to triumph by between 21 and 25 points. Southwell said of the loss to Northampton: "We were absolutely gutted. The changing room was really down afterwards but we've got a big run of games coming up. "We've got to pick ourselves up pretty quickly and come back here against Saracens and get the result we desperately need to keep us in the hunt in the Premiership."
