Malins is a very handy player.

Malins is a very handy player.

Quite expensive in housing though

Wasps 2nd. I'll take that.

[backdoc]

So now we will need bonus points in both games to guarantee 2nd place.

+1. Who'd have thunk it

Exeter - a 5 man caterpillar.

Please please stop this.

Just calculated that we were the only side to win all four games between Round 17 and Round 20. We took the most league points in that time.

At 12 days, 23 hours and 30 minutes we had the shortest time between kick off in R17 and full time in R20 (based on each game taking two hours to complete), Quins will have the longest time (15 days, 7 hours and 45 minutes).

Full records are:

Wasps: 4 wins, 18 points - 12 days 23 hours 30 mins
Bath: 3 wins, 16 points - 13 days 2 hours
Gloucester: Currently on 2 wins, with Quins to play tomorrow, maximum 15 points - 15 days 5 hours 15 minutes
Quins: Currently on 2 wins, with Gloucester to play tomorrow night, maximum 15 points - 15 days 7 hours 45 minutes
Exeter: 3 wins, 14 points - 13 days 3 hours 30 minutes
Sale: 3 wins, 14 points - 15 days 2 hours
Saracens: 2 wins, 11 points - 13 days, 3 hours and 30 minutes
Bristol: 2 wins, 11 points - 14 days 23 hours 30 minutes
Worcester: 1 win, 5 points - 14 days 2 hours
Leicester: 1 win, 4 points - 14 days 0 hours 30 minutes
Irish: 0 wins, 0 points - 13 days 2 hours.

Lee's squad management has been absolutely superb.

Amazing turnaround from earlier in the season. So proud of the whole squad right now. So much spirit, so much glorious play every game. Tries galore. What’s not to like ?! 😀

Now hopefully Leinster smash the estate agents next week, then what a few weeks it would have been 👍

[Shugs]

Thought that was great personally. Tired bodies but we wrapped it up in style. A few defensive lapses but I think that was down to fatigue. Great physicality from Fekitoa throughout. JTA seems transformed at scrum time. Four wins from Bath, the Cheats, Tigers and Bristol. I'd have taken that!

Malins is a very handy player.

My lad said after their first try that it was an idiosyncratic try by Malins. I had to go and look idiosyncratic up before I could agree!

[baldpaul101]

I think its difficult to manage the level of commitment & focus Wasps have shown over the last few weeks for 80 minutes when:
1. you're knackered
2. you've managed the bonus point inside 18 minutes
3. your playing a weaker team (not being rude but not many of them would be in Bristols best side)

scoring tries is easy in the above circumstances, because its fun but defending is much harder!

And he's on loan.. so he's still technically an EA employee.

It infuriated me at the time, and still does, when all the clubs seemed to be on the same page of idignation about how Sarries were allowed to build and pay the squad they had.. and yet some clubs have then helped the EA's out by taking players on loan for a year.. effectively helping out Sarries with their wage connundrum.

If only I could spell hipocrasee

BG,

St Bruno, unfortunately in 2 years time we will be back where we started.

IMO the coaches should have suffered a far longer ban than Dean Richards. All of them.
