Bonus point well done odogwu

[Neils]

What a brilliant end.

[WonkyWasp]

Stopped watching soon after halftime. And  wot's more  - I don't like that dreary depressing foggy grey strip either!

[Chunky24]

Try Odogwu,  but too little too late

X2 for a bp

[HDAWG]

A second from Odogwu! Finish with try bonus point. Good determination.

[westwaleswasp]

Great cameo at the end, super finish.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

It says something when half the people on thai forum don't even bother to watch the end of the game.

That was atrocious.

It was. Our breakdown play was terrible.

[Shugs]

Disappointing but a glimmer at the end with two tries for the BP. Ref was dreadful but to try and look at some positives. We got a point, Douglas, Odogwu and Young looked good. Barbeary and Douglas punched good holes. We're really missing Fekitoa's power at centre and it's not coincidence that I don't think we turned them over more than twice (and that includes Morris's legal but penalised one). We just looked off it a bit and were probably caught out by a slight dip in quality in key positions.

That was pretty awful but that absolutely abysmal performance by referee Smales was enough to knock the stuffing out of any team. Credit to the boys getting 2 tries in 2 minutes at the end to gain a TBP. I hope I never see Smales refereeing a Wasps game again. Makes CMK look almost brilliant.

If previous seasons are anything to go by we'll have him 2 or 3 times more before we get assigned an international ref

[Neils]

I really hope that Lee doesn't take the Dai route of not complaining about the ref. There should be comment made. That was a totally inept even biased four man squad of officials today.

That is not to excuse Wasps play.

[HDAWG]

Yeah that was bad. Perhaps just winning last week it didn't hit the players how bad we were, then this week play bad again and we aren't so lucky!

The ref was awful. But it's not entirely his fault. Our defence and work at the breakdown was appalling at times. Wasn't sure about Atkinson from his performance, but perhaps he's being eased in, would like to see him play more to see what he's like. I'm not sure we used Gopperth at 10 properly. He's not the most creative, but he's very reliable.

Odogwu did well to score those 2 tries, proving good off the bench. Wolstenholme was quite mature too, prefer him to vellacott. Oddly enough I thought Lima was good at times, one of the few really igniting the attack.

[Neils]

Positives in Odogwu, Douglas, Alfie, Lima and West. Not disgraced in Morris, Cruse, YY and JTA. Rest a bit meh.

[Heathen]

Injuries are a real concern now. Credit to the lads for a late BP. Really need to up our game now.

[Mellie]

I think there were some pluses for us today, though not really in the forwards.

Wolstenholme - good overall play needs to work on his kicking though
Booj - some positive contributions including try
Lima - tried to make things happen and defended well
Odogwu - very lively and 2 tries in his short stint. He'll up our intensity if he plays like that consistently from the start
Kibirige kick for last try - potential stand in for Jacob?
