Well, I wasn't expecting that. Maybe Sarries need to get a few more players in, I'm sure they can afford it. (Is there a smirking emoji?)

Well played chaps.

Koch is going to have to work hard if he wants to be our first choice prop next season. Real quality in depth starting to develop  :)

Wow. We could have so easily lost that game.
It was on a knife edge all the way through the 2nd half.
Dickson (ref) probably preferred us in all honesty.

But try saving tackles by the likes of Paulo and Charlie. Josh was immense too.
Jimmy kept everyone cool. Great performance from him. Spink too.
There were mistakes, but due to our exceptional pressure, Sarries made a truckload more. Goode had a nightmare.

But the big thanks has to go to the forwards, who were titanic.
Lineouts, scrums and just general hard graft.
They gave us momentum in the 2nd half and Sarries never seemed to wrestle it back.
Perfect game for Captain Joe coming back.

Shields was incredible. He needs a month off to recover.
Fifita was everywhere.
Bio was absolutely awesome.

Well done lads.
Awesome, with an under strength team.

Lee wanted to impose Wasps on the Premiership in these next 5 games.
1 down, 4 to go.

Well done guys, strong 2nd half. Fifita is brilliant, he smashed they line out.

Alo again great, Brad shields was awesome, every single game.

Great Joe got a half under his belt, Gaskell coming on helped, so good tactics.

Oghre well done, back row and then hooker

Will Sarries players shut up, none stop back chat and horrible club

And apologies for getting Biyi’s name wrong.

Biyi Alo is a superb Wasps player.
He could even go further seeing how quickly he’s learning and evolving.

Stand outs for me
Mako back chat
Biyo tackle on lewington on touchline from behind in first half
53’ minute scrum on their 5m line
Couple of Line out steals by ?
Swinson ridiculous celebration on winning a maul turnover. Thought itoje was the man for that
Dicksons attempts to speed up play all game, but ignored mostly by the players
Officials or TMO spotting their two “non” tries
Tompkins probably their best player and Goode their worst
Stooke getting something for all season performances

Watching wasps for me, especially the close results, is not good for my fibrillation though😔🤨

Name wrong? I think ‘ Baby Bio ‘ got a ring to it . Great day at the office.

Any news on Martinez?

Just home from the match, he was sat on the bench all 2nd half with foot in a plastic boot. On crutches at the end.

Home.

I think the last ten minutes the whole crowd were willing Malakai to score. The level of noise when he got the ball raised very significantly.

Wow. Great win. Special mentions for Shields, Alo, Cruse and Stooke. Shields is just superb.

Nope. Quite small but loud. The Prem Rugby Report usually has all the attendances- probably tomorrow.
