Cips is just a delight to watch when Wasps are on the front foot.
Wade really good too. He's improved his defence enormously and seems far more physically robust.
Genge a key player in the Tigers comeback. Great to see him back playing.

Agreed. WLR butchering that chance with 'fancy dan' crap ought to haunt him for years to come.

Willis and Genge are going to be hard not to pick for England.

Sadly not the first time WLR has blown a clear chance

Lovobalavu I'm still surprised was even cited, lord knows why he was singled out for such treatment, Eastmond's were easily worse given he'd rather lost the plot, this looks like an error though also rather like shoulder to head from that camera angle.

Eastmond had lost the plot, but that's only clear because he did it twice, but this is a shoulder straight into the face, with force and with no control.

Eastmond also came out of the corner swinging. This doesn't look as brazen, but based on what we've been told it still looks like a red

No surprises? I've just watched the incident again and don't believe there was any malicious intent to strike the chin. Careless, yes, but deserving of a citing and a possible ban, no.

I'd put up with it- he is a brilliant player, and his playmaking is excellent too. And if we are talking about the Robson knock on one, he made that all by himself through 'fancy dan' play.

Inclined to agree but had he gone left and passed it was an almost certain try. I love the guy's talent too but had he scored they would have won. That's what will haunt him, I imagine.

Both teams had a bagful of chances which they didn't convert for one reason or another (brilliant last ditch defending aside). Wasps shaded the cockup contest on balance. WLR's a different player to the one that started the season.
