| Kicking off the trio of games with a trip to the South West of France and home of London Wasps hooker Raphael Ibanez, Wasps will face Dax on the 14th August, KO 9.30pm.
The following week Wasps will travel to the home of Scottish rugby to face fellow 2008/09 Heineken Cup Pool 2 side, Edinburgh. Andy Robinson’s side will host the Guinness Premiership champions on the 23rd August, KO 2.30pm, ahead of Wasps final pre season fixture at Adams Park on Friday 29th August.
The Friday night fixture, KO 7.30pm, will see Llanelli Scarlets travel to High Wycombe to open proceedings on home turf. The two sides met twice last season in the Heineken Cup and Wasps will be eager to continue a winning run over their Welsh opponents.
Looking ahead to the pre season schedule London Wasps Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan, said, “We are delighted to add games against Dax and Llanelli to our pre season programme. These fixtures combined with our trip to Edinburgh provide us with valuable game time as part of our preparations for the new season. It's important to have some good challenging matches in the run up and I have no doubt these fixtures will offer us some great variety. With games both home and away supporters will also have a fantastic opportunity to warm up to the season and see some our new signings in action.”
