Saw some encouraging signs from Wasps against Exeter. And some outright nightmareish ones too. So I don't know what's going to happen.

On paper Bath look much better, but Bath often look good on paper

Where's Barbeary?

Bath as usual look great on paper, on the pitch we'll see.

Calf injury. Wasps are reviewing how he's managed.

Launchbury latch once again driving a team mate over the line.

Old school tactic but damn effective when done properly.

Looks like penalty at worst for me, first contact is the ball isn't it?

EDIT - Not even, play on.

Both sides with errors at the moment. Wasps seem to be slightly better, but could easily go the other way.

Looked the worst kind as well. Stretch and a twist. Not nice to see.

If Umaga can just cut out those hiccups, he's a hell of a player.

Nice.


Last one was forwards, but I don't actually care

More than a hint of forward there.

He just looks very loose. Kicking dead from turnover ball with a nothing kick and missing touch in the first half. At Prem level you might get away with that, at international level your probably don't. He's got the right mentor in Gopperth it might just take some time to smooth out those rough edges.

Impressive short range try from Bath there. Real mini scrum with a "lock" in behind, really well setup.

Reid has had a cracking game. If Bath hold on to win he's surely man of the match.

Obano showed real drive to put no pressure on Eddie.

Odogwu seals it

His butchery of the 3 on 1 was absolutely criminal, and a prime example of why he might not have played for England. You cannot butcher those chances.

I don't get the impression England are intrigued by his linking play, but yes, it's a chance to put pressure on Eddie that wasn't taken

Odogwu isnt the first and wont be the last to screw up a simple overlap. It was a bad one, though.
Thought Umaga did a lot more right than wrong. Making breaks and pass/offloads for 2 scores is a very good return.
Reid was outstanding for Bath and Spencer lifted their effort when he came on. Obano's red -rightly issued - tilted the game Wasps way in the end.

Reid was my MOM but somehow Umaga managed to tip his usual seesaw in the right direction. Miller was very good for Wasps, as per mr reliable but can't get a run of games.
