Also enjoyed the game on BetUK — so thanks from me for that one as well.

Just one win from third place — COYW

Different team second half. Some great rugby and a fairly dominant pack. Got better when played more rather than kicking. Harris, Robson, Matthews, Shields and Flament excellent. Needless to say Willis outstanding. Some players really now starting to come through, the likes of Alo, Fekitoa, Watson and Oghre.

..... and breathe.

Well done Wasps. Good second half display.

We looked strong when Brooke’s and Ogre and Lima and Charlie came on.

Willis and Nemo were excellent. Thibaud and Jacob look classy.

If we can keep playing on harder pitches this team should continue to climb.

Phew! I said we’d win 3 out of the last 4 even if I thought it would be a different 3.  Need to back it up again next weekend but it’s good to be looking forward to a home game for once. Well done lads!

Amazing as it seems, Northampton and Bath are now in our targets.

Can we beat Glaws at the Ricoh?

Can Wuss beat Saints next week?
Can Chiefs take Bath at Sandy park?

All 3 of the above? We would then be 4th!!! Who'd have thought?

Whoever put the betuk link up - many thanks. Great quality picture.

Amazingly we've now scored 25 tries in six games

That was a Wasps game! Two in a row, loving the turnaround, really loving it. Just heard "Wasps moving in a surprising direction". Love it!!!

Umaga a little exuberant at the end, not that I  care, no doubt will learn from it. What supporter isn't happy watching players learn whist putting in bonus point wins!!

Watched on VipBox (thank Nelly), but interested to read about BetUk (thanks to those people), seems to be properly legit.

I had to leave just before half tme, so only got to see the poor part, but I'm not 100% convinced I agree with some of what was said here.  I thought our set piece was pretty solid, the scrum was good and we stole a few lineouts (even if we messed up some of our own). Some good moves, but we were plaing with the sun in our eyes, and they took full advantage of that.  I really feel for Watson taking one in the face early on.

All things considered I think Umaga's kicking from hand was brilliant, and I'm thrilled with the result.  Biyi is another diamond we should be grateful to Dai for bringing in.  Rapidly beocming one of my favourite players.

Don’t have the fingers to pound out updates during the game. Now ensconced back in my local reading this.
Glad I didn’t rush to judgement though. First half we got into their 22 2 or 3 times and was  questiioning my decision to attend. Ex AP ST holder so I went, as local, and last weeks performance reminded me of the good days.
My mate reckons that KB coming on changed the tide, but the experience of the whole 80 was great and more happy to praise than denigrate😎

Back from the game, first half wasn’t great. Don’t like Watson at FB and Paolo is not for me, good try saving tackle but just can’t warm to him.

Really like Lima at FB, really changed the way will played. Gopperth is such a good player but jack is amazing. Tom west did really well when he came on, absolutely smashed Irish in the scrum.

Flament is a good player, Jacob kicked well, Dan getting better. Carr and shields were very good. Fekitoa is someone I’m really starting to like. Definitely want Lima to start at 15 next

Really enjoyed the 2nd half. A bit sloppy to let Irish get the 4th try. Overall well done boys

Our thoughts as well - Lima at 15 PLEASE!!

For me our best try was the one that Marcus scored. Super slick along the line on a penalty advantage.

Jack was awesome yet again.

Hope Will was taken off as a precautionary measure and nothing to prevent him joining the Welsh squad this week.

We do like chaos rugby - nobody in the Prem plays it better.

Our supporters today was superb.

Bring on Glaws.

Is it just me that thinks there were more Wasps fans than Irish there today?
