I believe it is a "you can't penalise Robshaw" match and as such Wasps cannot be allowed to win!

Just a bit loose all round at the minute. It's been a strange game. It has a feel of us dominating but we've hardly been in their 22. Awful missed tackle by Gaskell for their first try which was a bit of a momentum shifter. Quins lucky not to have been yellowed at scrum time.

We’re trying to force it. Someone needs to remind the boys that to get 5 points we need to get 4 first.

Dominant in the set piece and with an unbelievable rate in scoring from first-phase ball, we just need to be a little more pragmatic and play in their half, not constantly in ours.

Well - hard one to say. Looked good everywhere we'd want to - but are behind

I'm more than a little pee'd with Pearce - their second was from a clear off feet and offside at breakdown and that penalty in the last scrum was a joke. I think we need to come out and take the ref out of the equation as much as possible.

I'd guess we'll look to play a little more territory - but we've got to keep the tempo up too.

Often seems to happen when a team becomes dominant in the set piece, they seem to forget they can do other things and start just to focus on that in the game at the expense of other facets.

We do so well when defending and counter-attaking from turnovers. Today we are on top in scrums and line outs to a lesser extent and seem surprised that it is not leading to trys. Cut out the mistakes and we should be ok but we can't afford giving soft trys through poor tackling.

We need to create field position.
Take penalties. And any points available.

And get ourselves into a position to unleash our powerful bench for the last 20 minutes.

Time for calm heads.
Very glad Jimmy is on the pitch to guide those around him.

Come on Wasps.

+1 - soft shoulders and not keeping hold of the ball overshadows a decent set piece performance so far. 

Plenty to work on at half time.

Wasps appear to have given up. Quins rolling all over them.

Everything Quins do turns to gold, where as Wasps it's mistakes all round. Umaga missing touch has been shocking

There’s a distinct lack of leadership.  Someone needs to get amongst them and start leading from the front.

Why did Carley try to persuade quite strongly against the red.
