Highlights / full game posted from 9 pm according to this, a late positive test made us close contacts so we decided to stay away, looking forward to 9 pm!

Shame. With Bobby off we won't get any of his usual intelligent articles in the Cov Tel. :(

I haven’t seen the player ratings but having been at the CBS I thought Frosty was top drawer and mom today. What a prospect!

Frosty's been a revelation. Six tries in six games.

Alfie MOM for me - the turnovers, not just the tries.

I was expecting a great deal more from Paddy Jackson. Apart from missing (I think) 80% of his place kicks, he was virtually anonymous during the rest of the game.
Irish ended up scoring one more try than we did, 5 to our 4, yet they didn't manage a losing bonus point.

Was it just down to our pressure or perhaps simply too much figgy pudding yesterday?

What pleased me the most is now we are starting to get a couple of regular first teamers back from injury the standards are starting to lift. A key metric to squad development is this. Suddenly all those horrible losses, deflating injuries start to pay off because those still standing have gained experience that will hold us in good stead when those we know can perform at the highest levels return....and every team needs strength in depth.

And perhaps that's why todays win meant more than the 5 points gained. We have not got anywhere near our full squad back...but when a couple return the whole performance standards perceptively rise. London Irish have made huge strides this term, and are a challenge to anyone, and we kept them at arms length throughout. The darkest days preceded the brightest future, today feels like we have just glimpsed the first rays of sunlight...and when that happens you know it will only get brighter!!!!

I love being a Wasp!!!

Chris

Rugby by birth, a Wasp by the grace of God!!!  ;D

Probably suffering pangs of conscience over his recent court case. I believe her.

He's played plenty of rugby since then and a lot better than he was today. My money's on the pudding.

If you haven’t got time to, watch it all tonight and want something satisfying to watch go to 54 minutes (game time) and watch the “harem sacrum” stuff and outrageous offload by Fefita.

2 incredible offloads by Fifita, around 55:20 game time.
