No 2nd row replacements. Unless you think Nate can do that?

Looking elsewhere, Nate seems to be the most likely.

Nice to see theQuins board think they are cast iron certs for the win. Stronger across most of the team apart from 9. Hopefully deluded people.

Well, recent history would sort of back their views. Trouble with rugby is, predicting the outcome of any game is less of a science that predicting the winner of the Grand National.

For me we're fielding a stronger starting xv than the last game at quins and the bench makes us stronger rather than weaker.

With due respect to Haskell and Miller I would say barring Launchbury and Daly that's our strongest 23.

That can't be far off the best we have put out for a very long time.  Should be a very interesting game.

I'm not sure I'd agree Rowlands is better than Myall. For a while Myall was a but if a penalty machine, but he's got that in hand now and still has a bit of an edge we really need.

Just seen a tweet that Marcus Garrett is replacing Tommy Taylor on the bench. Almost makes it seem pre-planned or that the lack of second row cover was a mistake. Hope Tommy is ok.

I was seriously worried when Eastmond was carded so early, but my God what a performance!

So proud to be a Wasp today!

Great game and statement from Wasps. Feel for Eastmond, even though I was quietly cursing him at the time. Suspect he will be out for a few weeks.

Great to see Jack continuing to impress. Thought Tom Cruise is quietly staking his claim. Really liked the way Danny handled the MoM as well, after a great game himself.

Tome Cruise .... THE little man himself ... ???  hehe. Cruse maybe? LOL. What a match. Every time Willie gets stick on the other board from a Miller proponent, I would have to point to that game. To play for so long one man down and still get the win, deny the bonus point, AND get five tries .... stunning. Look out Exeter. And I find myself cheering Sale on for next week also. We still can't get higher than third (so no move), but it will be a lot closer from then on till the season end.
