Slightly confused, are they calling the team who should get the penalty in the scrum rather than the usual approach of who should be penalised?

Me too. Twice AR calls 'red,red,red', first time Glos play on. The second time we got penalised. Puzzled.


Carley seems to have solved the confusion, the AR is just keeping his mouth shut.

Don't quite agree that West is "on toast" in the scrum here. Balmain seems to be the one standing up under pressure first.

Forearm by Ackerman into Shields, but not sure it’s deliberate.

Wasps playing better than I expected. Not totally cohesive, but not awful.

Small errors…by both teams.
Can’t quite get that continuity going.

Both teams very capable of turning ball over at key times.
Close game.

J Willis really is an absolute rock star of a rugby player isn't he!

We are still in it but we desperately need some experience at one of 10 or 15.

Porter very sharp today. Deserves his start.

That was our fault. Simples.

We are disrupting their mauls really well.
Big plus.

At least the scrum mystery is solved, a shout of red = Gloucester penalty, a shout of black = Gloucester penalty.

Useless referring.
Balmain was angling in.

Balmain is burrowing in each scrum and the pathetic referee can’t see it.
Right in front of his eyes.

Mad!

Showpony officiating.

Another shout of "red" ignored there by Carley.

£4.99 to watch the Matthew Carley show, bargain.
