Couldn't be happier! Last minute try was outstanding. In tears. Well done lads.

Despite the ref the boys did it. Only 7 points off third tonight. Bonkers.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Called the ambulance. Chest pains. (joke) Heart still at 200bpm. Wife came in to see if I had been attacked or something.

Given two really bad decisions by Pearce the Incompetent. We deserved that. Going to grab a cider.

Just woke the kids up celebrating, great result.
Fekitoa just shut down the Bristol attack and the back row disrupted every breakdown.
So pleased for Joe that penalty wasn't the decisive moment.

5 very valuable points, despite Pearce doing all he could to give the game to Bristol.
Malakai was superb. Robson's form improving a bit. Back row impressive.

Stopped crying now, dog looking at me funny.
Nemo, Mr consistent, he deserved that, he's given his everything all season. I'm not going to rinse anyone after that result but thought Gops added something when he came on.
If Fek can build on that performance then we'll get more wins, he showed commitment and passion, good on you son. Still some dodgy decision and execution, Dan..come on mate, but i can't bring myself to go negative...oh yes I can, Pierce, your an utter Muppet. Umaga stepped up second helf, pleased for the lad.
I'm please for Dai too, he needed this win as much, maybe more, then we did and came with a ref decision of getting slaughtered again this week, enjoy your week Dai.
Best present I got this year was that win..can enjoy my weekend...hope you enjoy yours too fellow Waspies...off to cry again,

It's a super tight league. We've been close and finally got one over the line. The attacking invention was great to see with some very good tries. We deserve that one.

WHAT A FINISH!!!

Maddening game. Typically good defence to keep their big runners quiet, and great lines to carve open their defence. And yet we nearly lost it.

What was the penalty count in the 2nd half,  7-0 Bris? And we outscored them 4 tries to 2 and by over 20 points. Huge effort. Agree that the Cruse and Launch penalties were jokes, Joe looked furious after he tore his way through their maul to take the ball only for Pearce to blow up.

Can't fault any of the players right now, massive performance given the situation, so pleased for everyone.

Finally a Dai Young interview that I can believe in!

Given the time he misses you can forget just quite how good Joe Launchbury is. He deserved to be born 10 years earlier and win everything going but thank goodness he wasn't! Absolutely incredible.

Kicking was pretty loose at times, including kicking way too long to Charlie P, but what heart and effort. It's a different team from the past few weeks. Imagine where we'd be if we'd stated the season like that?

I actually think Booj did well, that awful rip aside

Fantastic stuff - well done Dai, his team and all the players.

Excellent.
