Awesome!!! Great to see him back and straight back in to start.

Dragons (v Wasps): Josh Lewis, Jared Rosser, Nick Tompkins, Jamie Roberts, Ashton Hewitt, Sam Davies, Rhodri Williams (c); Brok Harris, Richard Hibbard, Lloyd Fairbrother, Ben Carter, Joe Maksymiw, Aaron Wainwright, Harrison Keddie, Ollie Griffiths

Replacements: Elliot Dee, Josh Reynolds, Leon Brown, Matthew Screech, Taine Basham, Tavis Knoyle, Jack Dixon, Jonah Holmes

I don't watch pro14, but that looks a very handy backline (the names I recognise).

Some big calls here. Barbeary continuing at 8. Atkinson starting. Great to see West getting a start too, and imagine he'll put in a big shift given ZZ hasn't played any rugby since March.

Sopoaga still at 15 not such a good call, but probs saving Minozzi for some Prem games after the Autumn cup. Vellacott must be injured as didn't feature last week either.

Wasps have had a poor start to the season, so this should be treated as chance to get a win, but of secondary importance to improving league form.

Chance for Wasps to reset. Big game for Atkinson. Great to see the youngster getting a start.

Dragons with covid issues has lead to something like 4 changes for them for the starting lineup and then players to the bench.

Can’t seem to get this on the BT Sport app. Anyone else having a problem?

Watching a stream but its on bt sport 2hd live.

Decent first half if a fair amount of errors. Atkinson doing OK. A lovely cross kick to set Bassett up, that for a longer dead ball area would've been a try. Hes taken a couple of cracking rib shots and got up and still challenged the line. Good hands too both left and right.

I know he's just missed touch, but I'm pleased to see Atkinson go for absolute max distance every time from penalties.

Umaga is encouraged to do the same, I'm ok with it.

Thank you Nigel... Thought sops had his arms up and just got bumped away so couldn't wrap. But i guess it's consistent.

Would be nice to hear some neutral tmo interference go the otherway...

Yep thirded.

Safety first penalty touch finders are another gift from League. Bring back torpedo kicks I say!!

(Though Malins is probably regretting his final kick for Brizz, bonus point might be important)

Turns out it was closer to 8 in the end. Amazing the game went ahead at all
