Wasps scrum half Joe Simpson is hoping to be fit to play Sale on Sunday.

The U20 star twisted his leg after coming off the bench against Harlequins last weekend, in their 32-10 defeat, and had to be replaced.

But he hopes to resume full training tomorrow.

Dominic Waldouck is also closing in on a return and could be fit to face Newcastle next Friday evening.

The Guinness Premiership champions are only one point of the bottom of the table after a dreadful start to the season.
