Gavins' win at the ISPS Handa World Invitational looks set to guarantee him a European Tour card for next year. He previously had five top-10 finishes on the Challenge Tour in 11 starts in 2021, but was shocked by his first European Tour victory. Wasps had 18 players unavailable for selection for this fixture and their injury woes continued when full-back Ali Crossdale was clattered as he attempted a tackle and was carried off on a stretcher. Following a lengthy delay, Marcus Watson replaced him but Wasps immediately overcame that setback to score the opening try. Danel Sinani's sixth-minute strike proved enough for the home side, while the Baggies had Jake Livermore sent off midway through the second half for a high tackle. "Maybe make it a 64-nation event? You cannot rank it I don't think, but maybe have all those players that are competing in it, if the PDC can find a bit of budget, have something that would be called a World Open.
