Showing exactly how important losing Fekitoa is. Booj boozled

I dunno, Booj has put some good shots in so far.

Aaargh just too much on that from Robson

Was about to say that Gooperth is being allowed too much time to dictate this game, before he was charged down...

So you didn’t see how Radradra stopped him and ran round him just then?

Oh did he? Haha I missed that! I saw the desperate but effective ankle lunge when Bassett got the intercept

Scrums are interesting; Wasps will be weaker at TH when Alo comes on, but arguably stronger at LH with West

Yep down Wasps right just outside the Brizz 22, one more pass would have seen Briz away for a try

Dense by launch

Brilliant from Young and Willis

Willis really is just fantastic- just hope his body holds up. He has to get called up by Eddie.

I thought robson went the wrong way but well done wasps. Willis looking great again.

Wasps got the try, but was it not high from Malins on Willis beforehand?

Robson looks a bit rattled

Carley isn’t very good.

A couple of dim penalties. He's such a beast though, so explosive a little polish could bring out a real diamond.

Rowlands is a brute isn’t he. Got a good welsh future I’d say

By the way has NZ vs Aus already happened? I don't want to look up the time in case I see the score.

Yeah he's pretty poor. Just inconsistent as much as everything. You could put up with some annoying interpretations that don't follow what other officials do if he just applied them throughout the game.

One of which was harsh. Both the sort of marginal stuff you’d expect from his style. I think he’s pretty smart already frankly. His technique and decision making are very decent imo

Tomorrow at 4 am I think

Ah cheers.

Big and average. He works hard but I imagine he's seen as a short term stop gap at international level. At 29 he's not really one for the future and Wales are short on locks. He was never going to get near England contention.

Still, I’d have him over Ball and Beard

Stroll into Tigers

Wasps cant stop playing or it will let Bristol back in, they need to keep the breakdown pressure up as well. Bristol will really target Booj next half I imagine and will likely get some change out of him

I was thinking particularly of the one from the first lineout where he is the second man in a big hit on Hughes. Text book defence, very good. Then clearly never releases and turns slow ball on half way into a lineout in his own 22. Inexcusably stupid and if he does that against Exeter it'll be 7 points. A little more experience and he leaves the ball, reloads and then is ready to smash the next ball carrier, opposition go nowhere and kick. Just a little polish and he could step up another level and be an international player for a decade.
