So it doesn't look like Sarries are only trying to win home games.

A win for tigers, helps keeps Wuss below us. Quins grab 5, but we can get ahead of them again with 5 of our own.

Glaws losing to Sale does mean Sale stay well ahead, but brings another team into range for us to overtake them.

Pretty good weekend for Wasps overall so far. Just need a big win tomorrow and we're in 6th, with top 4 in sight.

A good performance from the lads tomorrow will give a clear indicator as to where we are heading.

I think with the team we are putting out, Irish are beatable. Neutralising Loader and Hassell-Collins will be critical. We also need to keep close tabs on Blair Cowan as he bullied us at The Ricoh....#coyw

They've got a lot of big carriers, across the backline, but not much distribution. Myler is a pivot (a good one, but not a flair player). If our defence stops their runners, I don't see them being able to bring much more to the game.

Of course, if we don't stop them, we'll struggle.

Their defence against Glaws looked fairly passive, so I'm hoping we won't struggle for front foot ball.

Didn’t see what team Sarries had out today but again really emphasises how good we were last week against them, especially when they’d beaten an in form sale, with largely the same team the week before.
Hope we can play with the same freedom against Irish as we did last week

Better side than they had out against us. Not 60-10 to beating saints better. And shows they do still care about away games.

I've just read a comment elsewhere from someone who watched it, a Wasps fan so I hope he won't mind me copying it here:

Quote
Saints really threw it away. Reinbach really upset the ref, got warned any more chat and he'd be off, then passed directly to Ben Earl from a lineout for an easy run in try. Several other schoolboy errors when they (Saints) went down to 13 men. Dan Biggar had to be helped off the pitch, looked a big doubt for next week.

I don't like seeing players go off and I hope Biggar's available for next week's game against England, much as I hate his dancing around before he kicks  :-\

Hardlywins snatching a late win didn't help our cause but other than that results so far have gone our way.

Have Saracens just had 3 away games on the trot?

Watched Glos v Sale and the Quins game. Just reinforced what I already thought - this season is a real open contest. No-one really dominant. If we can somehow string three or four wins together we could easily be top 4.
