DFU status for Wasps.

Interesting to see if saints can build on last week or if they just a derby day thing.

Hell of a pass from WLR.

Wasps look up for it.

Curry jokes should be banned from now on.

Well that's both sides of Wasps in the space of 10 minutes isn't it?

They make it look so easy.

Tuala and North not interested in defending hasn't helped Saints much.

Brilliant.

aint that right.

Brilliant by Thompson. Enjoyable match.

Yeah good game.

Phew.

Another really enjoyable game.
Wasps are great to watch when they are clicking in attack.
fair play to Saints who made a game of it and did very well to get a try BP.

Shame Bassett’s try was chalked off

Haskell pretty cheesed off to get penalised for his challenge. Think he has a point. We all want dangerous high tackles to be penalised, but some of this seatbelt stuff is in no way dangerous. Some contact around the head during a game is inevitable unless we ban all tackling above waist height.

Rowlands is miles better than Myall, IMO.

Eddie Jones should bite the bullet and take Cipriani on tour. Wade too - best finisher in the league and his defence has really improved. Loved to see him drop the massive George North.

The ewok will need a high octane 12 to pair with Cipriani to pull that off. A lot of the space that Cipriani creates is built off Gopperth. If Farell is at 12....forget about it.

Yeah there is no way EJ takes cips or wade I think.

He probably wont take Cips - and thats our loss - but Wade is making a case that is very hard to ignore. His defence and general physicality have improved enormously this season.

Personally, I wish Eddie had made a concerted effort to convert Cips to fullback when he took over. Could have added a different dimension to our attack, a quality playmaker at 15 is something England have rarely had. He showed today he’s still got the athleticism for fb. A nonsense that a player that talented will probably leave England with so few caps.

Like a rugby Le Tissier.
