Bizarre Saints try. Ball headed forward and Wasps' defence entirely wrong footed. Conversion missed.

10-7

Ref not started especially well, try not given for Bibi, Waller never on his feet for turnover...

The ref is having shocker at the moment, missing everything

I think he is a bit unilateral.

Saints don't get pinged, we get pinged for a scrum where we retake the position... not sure when the ref is intending to let the teams play rugby.

Ref poor effort - may as well not bother with the ruck laws and he's not a clue about the scrum

Ref has no idea at the ruck, that time it went our way.

Have we practised line outs and rolling mauls in pre season ? Very sloppy in places, reminds me of last season. Now we jus scored our 2nd  :)

Overall attack not bad, we get our lines wrong sometimes but Saints defending well.

Our defence looks alright.

Our work at the breakdown fluctuates between good and bad, the ref hasn't officiated good enough at times but Saints sometimes get legal turnovers.

Also our scrum has sometimes been terrible as well.

Just need to sort out consistencies, breakdown and some bits of attack.

For people who saw Sarries last week, do we look better today?

Defence: Slow line speed.
Defence: Mainly one man on to tackle, so the offload is always on.
Attack and Defence: Lineout very poor.
Attack: Rolling maul not good.
Defence: No support for the tackled player.
Defence: Box kick is appallingly long.
Attack: No kick chase.

Other than that, everything is tickety boo.

Umaga and Watson the best of what we have, I think.
