YORK Wasps RL Club's first-team squad are taking advantage of a rare Sunday off to enjoy a team-building session in Nottingham.

And the trip to the East Midlands is doubling up as a stag weekend for Wasps' veteran front row Andy Precious.

The popular prop, 31, will be marrying Emma Townsend in April and agreed it with the club to have his stag do on a blank weekend.

Precious, whose best man will be the Wasps' stats supremo, Rich Kirby, said: "There are about 15 or so rugby lads going. The rest are work mates and some ex-Wasps players, like Lea Tichener, Chris Hopcutt and Stewart Horton, so there's a rugby association there, too."

Wasps coach Leo Epifania said: "We are using it at the same time as a bit of a team-bonding weekend."
