Very scrappy. Too many pens. The authorities really need to make clear whether players can demand a TMO intervention or not. Will Welch stood between Gopperth and the kick until Woodthorpe reviewed - I'm not a fan of that.

Sounds like we are struggling at the moment with little continuity..

Jacob missed a late penalty chance.
Jimmy I believe.

Yeah this sounded really dodgy on the radio - its fine to disallow a try if the officiating team legitimately decide to review it, but you can't have players demanding it...

We sound blunt.

The Geordie commentators are saying it's very strange how Wasps have not turned up full of confidence after "destroying" Bristol last weekend. Very muted performance and not going into attack mode with the backs. Interestingly also said Newcastle got out of jail with the disallowed Wasps try. Not sure why or how - is nice listening to the radio but frustrating now really able to follow it properly.
COYW for re-starting the engine H2

Looking at the map and weather app, it looks like one team has been playing into wind, but not sure who as I am only listening.

Hats off to Bobby Bridge - multi-tasking by posting on the CovTel site as well as co-commentating on CWR.

Sounds like we are well and truly in this, maybe just need some individual magic to get things moving for us!

Bobby Bridge saying Bassett cops one for the red?

Who knows. Nice to see we're back in it. Let's hope we can make the numbers advantage pay off.

"Penny had two or three open handed slaps on Bassett who was off his feet at the ruck."
