London Wasps.
Wasps Rugby Football Club is an English professional rugby union team based in Coventry, England. They now play in Premiership Rugby, England's top division of rugby. They were founded in 1867 as Wasps Football Club, now a distinct amateur club, the club was originally London-based, but re-located to Coventry in December 2014. Wasps now own and play at the Ricoh Arena. Prior to the move to the midlands Wasps had several homes; from 1923 to 1996 they were based at Repton Avenue in Sudbury, London, from 1996 to 2002 they played at Loftus Road in Shepherd's Bush and from 2002 to 2014 they played at Adams Park in High Wycombe.
They have won 12 major titles. They were European Champions twice, in 2004 and 2007; have won six English Championships including three in a row from 2003–05; and won three Anglo-Welsh Cups. They have also won the 2003 European Rugby Challenge Cup.
Their most recent trophy was the 2008 Premiership. In the 2017-18 Premiership Rugby season Wasps finished third and lost in the Play-Off semi-finals. This entitles them to compete in the 2018-19 European Rugby Champions Cup. The current Director of Rugby is Dai Young who was appointed in 2011.

Alot of players have retired from last year and a new squad was put together. Dai Young also added Shane Howarth, the former Wales full-back, to his backroom staff to give the side a fresh outlook, while Dan Howells heads up a new-look strength and conditioning team.
