He just kicked the 9, whether he hits the ball or not!

They’re starting to build confidence and look like they’re taking control after that shaky start.

Super backrow sub, covers all 3. He's been very good, but I'd not have him ahead of any of those back row options myself.

Eh? Irish front row pops up and we’re pinged for not driving straight. How does that work?

If you'd offered me  that score at HT, I would have bitten your hand off....

Looking like the players have had a chat and decided to put previous to one side, so far.....

Better than expected 1st half and looked very good towards the end with ball in hand - a bit of old Wasps.

Let’s hope they don’t do what they did against Worcester and switch off in 2nd half.

Line speed and aggression are better. Many more dominant tackles. Oghre gives us another dimension. We're just not clicking yet in open play. Heart in the mouth time with those raking line outs.

Well after another shaky start , good to see it becoming better. What was with the overthrow on the line out ? Trying to decide if intentional but forgot to tell one of the backs.

Even hamish had a reasonable game.

Considering everything Jacob has been through (or been talked about) he’s looked pretty composed and nearly found us a few gaps to exploit.
He’s looking sharper.

Hopefully he continues to build confidence and impress in the 2nd half.

Now don't allow Irish to have the same 2nd half as last week. Please.

These red button commentators are very average.

'Shish kebab!' was an interesting comment
