No Gopperth...Not so good for my fantasy rugby :p

[Stom]

No Robson, either!

[Peej]

Some interesting calls there. Having Mullan back in isn't something I'd have done, and no Gopperth even on the bench could be a real issue given that Miller has had a long lay off.

Daly vs Marchant is going to be interesting!

Wasps list Gopperth as injured, so that's why.

Aye, I saw that he was injured but it's still an issue!

[fivepointer]

Wade v Walker would be an interesting foot race.

The battle between the props might be good to keep an eye on. J C-W is fit and looking in very good form.

[Puja]

Good to see Smith getting another go. Swiel would've been the safe option, but it's encouraging for Smith to be getting game time.

When Swiel is the safe option, you know something's gone wrong with your recruitment...

[Raggs]

Smith doesn't seem to mind tackling, but Gaby and more significantly, Hughes, are both going to be looking to hit him hard with tackles.

[Raggs]

Robson is injured too, Dai was unsure if he'd make it this week, but said he hadn't been training. We're in the fortunate position to be able to simply give him the week off (like we did Wade last week).

Cips, Gaby, Daly is my dream midfield for Wasps. Let Daly kick sticks, he's not just a long range option. And that backline will get you in a position to be taking kicks at goal a lot more often I feel. Along with more solidity in defence. Gopps isn't a bad defender, but Gaby has serious stopping power.

[Puja]

Agreed - it'll be a good test of him. Already more impressed with his testicular fortitude than that of Mallinder, but this'll show his real mettle.

Is this one on television?

[Timbo]

Those Wasps outside backs are ludicrous. All kinds of serious gas.

[Digby]

Yes, it's the Sunday game on BT

[Mellsblue]

Who is the commentator. He's an utter prat.

[Mikey Brown]

I genuinely can't tell if Roberts is playing or not.

And shockingly this tactic of not supporting our runners or putting anybody in to rucks isn't really working either.

[16th man]

Oh look, Haskell being a knob.

[Mikey Brown]

Ha. Hask you fucking moron.

Market just winding him up for a laugh really. Stupid but funny.

Touch judge trying to justify Haskell overreacting?

[Mikey Brown]

Oh god. It just got worse. Haskell should be binned just for talking to a ref like that.

[twitchy]

Fun game so far.

[Mikey Brown]

I'd be mighty annoyed as a Wasps fan blowing all these chances.

[Mellsblue]

I genuinely can't tell if Roberts is playing or not.

I wasn't sure either but then he put a regulation right to left pass miles over Brown's head.

That was the moment I realised to. I'm so glad he came here to learn how to add another dimension to his game.

[morepork]

Sinkler is a niggly bastard.

[I R Geech]

Sinkler is a niggly bastard.

Seems to be the main Quins tactic today
