La notizia ha del clamoroso: Andrea Masi non vestirà la maglia delle Zebre, nonostante gli annunci della franchigia federale. Il centro/estremo classe 1981 ha scelto infatti di tornare all’estero, ma stavolta non in Francia come si ipotizzava, bensì in Inghilterra. L’aquilano ha firmato un contratto col prestigioso club dei London Wasps e andrà a unirsi a un altro italiano già alle Vespe: l’ex Airone Fabio Staibano. Sfuma quindi quello che sembrava un passaggio assodato, il trasferimento di Masi alle Zebre che lo avevano annunciato nella lista dei giocatori tesserati.

London Wasps’ back-line stocks have been boosted with the announcement that Italy centre Andrea Masi has joined the club from Aironi.
The 69-times capped Masi has represented Italy at three World Cups and was named the Six Nations Player of the Championship in 2011, becoming the first Italian to ever win the award.
Apart from his time at Aironi, spells at Viadana, Biarritz and Racing Metro have given Masi excellent experience in the European game.
He will link up with fellow Italian international Fabio Staibano who arrived at Wasps earlier this summer also from Aironi.
Director of Rugby Dai Young is excited about working with Masi.
“Andrea is a versatile player with proven quality and he will be bringing with him some vital experience from the highest level of the game,” he said.
“We are always looking to add real international quality to our squad and I see him as giving us great depth in our back-line,” added Young
Masi is keen to add value in his new surroundings.
“I am really excited and honoured to be joining such a great European club and I am hoping that I can add something to the club both on and off the field.”
