James Haskell wishes good luck to Shrewsbury rugby

Wasps and England star James Haskell has recorded a video message wishing them well as they aim to wrap up a second-place finish against their only remaining rivals for that coveted spot.

A friend of Shrewsbury team captain Simon Evitts was in a meeting with Haskell at Wasps' training ground and Haskell was more than happy to lend his support by recording a brief message for the team.

The video can be seen on Shrewsbury's Twitter page and Evitts said: "The boys were really impressed to see that someone like that would do that and they have taken it as another bit of inspiration for the weekend."
