Just seen the Dragons tries on Twitter. Some poor defending by Wasps certainly aided their cause.

Think it was Millar-Mills buying a really bad dummy, when there was a ton of cover outside of him. Take the man in that situation, even if he passes, he's out of the game as a supporting option.

Hopefully we can work on our rolling maul as that was disjointed. Some good offloading in the highlights but as others have said - some poor defending.

A few decent offloads over the last few games from Fifita leading to line breaks. Promising

The highlights don't show the errors in the 2nd half and the one who stood out for me with errors was Jimmy, a number of errors from him cost us at times.
The team was on top in the 1st half, as the team changed to give players game time the continuity and flow disappeared. We had the opportunity to win the game but didn't take them.

I guess is the primary objective to win the game or to give players game time, try combinations and work on things - I think I read that Lee said they didn't take points when they would have in a league match and they wanted to practice their mauling (?) so picked and went when in a 'real' match hey would have tried other things.  So I am not sure that they were that bothered about the score as it was more an opportunity to practice things in a match situation.

Fifita puts in a powerful tackle:

With Joe Launch out and Gaskell injured, I wouldn't be surprised to see Vaea start against the Bears.
