Quins v Wasps

Post by I R Geech »

Pure filth from Wasps so far. Cips looking on it, Robson needs to speed up his service.

Nathan who?

Carr has been superb since arriving. Today's no different.

Haskell looks like a confused old border collie out there.

Quins making a game of it, come back with a couple of tries. Greenwood does tend to burble on and on - proper wears you out.

Wasps are capable of defending at times. And then there's other times.

JdJ helps the defence a lot, macken is a huge step down defensively.

Amazing delay and pass from Cips, but Wade seems to have stopped backing himself - kicking more often or doing the Alex Goode Shuffle.

Oh good, Simpson's on. 25 minutes of box kicks to look forward to.

Yep. He owns an events company with a few other ex-pros. Saw an advert from them the other day offering Eng 6N tickets ‘sitting next to Will Greenwood’. Why ruin a good day out. Great player, rubbish commentator/analyst.

Great end to the game. Makes no odds that Wasps are out really, as there’s no way they’d win an away quarter-final with the way they defend.

Looks like a lot of ins and outs coming for Wasps this summer, which may be no bad thing as they have all the talent but obviously something not quite right (relatively speaking).

I think Wasps are really missing the influence of the steady, reliable and hard-nosed Jimmy Gopperth in midfield.

How the hell did we contrive to lose? Oh yeah, same as we always do. Defence coach needs shooting.

Cips better than Ford by a reasonable enough margin IMbiasedO.

I posed that question to a Wasps fan on here a few days back. Some of their work is just outstandingly bad, they lack organisation, effort and communication, and bar Launch ability/physicality

With Shields arriving, I guess Wasps are well stocked for 8s. Then again, Haskell and Thompson are reportedly leaving and based upon Carr’s immediate impact, they’d be crazy not to try to keep him.

I know he wants to stay in contention for the Boks, but with Whiteley a key player/regular captain and Vermeulen heading back to SA, he’d be third choice at best.

If not Wasps, any club looking for an 8 must surely have Carr at the top of their shopping list. Leicester should definitely have a sniff.

Thompson's been great for Wasps but I'd not be disappointed at all to trade him for Carr. Thompson's a heads up player but so is Carr and he's younger.

Entertaining for the neutral but any Wasps fan will be tearing their hair out. They had that comfortably sown up and really should have been able to see the game out. Great fightback by Quins, with Smith again impressing. I thought Care was excellent. Its also only right to applaud Sinckler for a really strong all round 80 minute effort. No daft pens or strops, just solid graft in the tight and loose. Keep it up.
