Staying at Wasps: Joe Launchbury

WASPS have won their tug of war with Sale Sharks to keep England second row Joe Launchbury at the Ricoh Arena.
The 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and was the subject of interest from a number of Premiership clubs.
Blindside understands that the Sharks were willing to pay Launchbury around £500,000 a year for the next five years to move North next summer.
But we can reveal that he is staying at Wasps and has re-signed with last season’s Premiership finalists on a long term deal.
The news will be a massive boost for Wasp...
