Jacob was truly worthy of the MoTM.
But, so was the team. You heard me right. We played like a team. I have not seen that for a long while.
We did not implode after 20 minutes. We did not fall to pieces when the replacements came on. Of those replacements (bearing in mind that Booj was on for seconds before taking one ro the head), only one was below par, Sopoaga, and only a little bit. But, compare him to Jacob - no, there isn't a way to do that. Jacob was on fire. His field kicking was sublime. Passing too.
The team did everything they should have been doing for months. Tackling pushing back the attack at each contact. When going into contact, pushing the defenders back. Supporting attackers. Offloading. It was ALL there. It was, in simple terms, a masterclass.
Any standout players? Plenty should be getting 10's in the scores on the board from BB. Dare I say Jacob, Shields, Carr and Willis were better still? We have never seen Shields play like that. We have seen Carr play like that, even when he covered 12 for a while (we had run out of backs). But Jacob, Carr and Shields play the 80, and went full tilt the whole game. Stunning to watch. What's the best thing to do when you are defending on your own 5m line? Do it the old Wasps way, run it the length of the pitch in a matter of seconds and score another try. Jimmy's place kicking was metronomic, missing one of nine I think (and that from the touchline on his wrong side).
Tibo was ... and Matthews ... superb both of them. TT was a demon in defence. Kibirige outpaced everyone.
If you weren't there, my apologies, but you missed one of the best games I have watched in a long, long time.
It WAS recorded, so it will emerge on the Prem site in a few days.
Always a Wasp
