Anyone? Eastmond sees Red...
Quins 3 - 12 Wasps

Absolutely disgraceful by Eastmond. Either tackle was red.

Weird game so far, not happy with the pass for the second wasps try

Just turned on and saw Eastmond make not one but two efforts to get showered and changed before the Scotland v France game...

Dave Lewis is insufferably slow in thought and deed

Butchery. No excuse now.

No option for Barnes, never had him down as a dirty player
Aside from that, I see Wuss beat Exe - no hope now for Not Nots?

This bored!!

Dave Lewis is an absolute embarrassment. Take him off. Now.

I can only laugh. We cut them to pieces with brilliance from Smith and Dave Lewis takes the ball and... .

(This forums whiteouts are taking the piss.)

Visser must be seething at that

Blatant penalty and yellow card for Le Roux, mind, but you can get away with that sometimes

Good try. Nice angle by Roberts.

Dreadful.

Both teams up for this one.

Is this the Quins loosehead reportedly on Eddie Jones' radar?

Yeah, Lewis Boyce. He's having a great game so far, I was worried when we signed him but I've been impressed this season.

The sink is still too much of a head case to trust on the pitch.

Yep, done well so far

First time I've got to see Willis properly, how far away is he from England honours?

Cracking talent.

He's in the wider 6n squad.

Barnes finally spots a forward pass.

Wasps the better team this half.

We are a f**king rabble. Terrible discipline.

That counter ruck aside I haven't been that impressed considering the hype around him, but he'll have a big job to do in the second half and will have a chance to shine

Please take Lewis off. You don't even need to bring anyone else on for him.

Ah, great turnover by Willis

And again.

Jack Willis is a superb player.

More butchery.

Pathetic from quins really. But he's lying all over that.

Boyce certainly showing up well in the loose - how are Quins still behind?

Wasps hanging on, last ditch tackling

Wade's positional defense is superb, he's man marked Marchant effectively all half and shut him down.

We're going to lose this and it's going to really annoy me, particularly as we're doing some great stuff to get into these try scoring situations.

Kitto HAS to come on at half time. Just has to. I don't care if he's had a leg amputated or something, just get Dave Lewis off, put him in a taxi, and send him to fucking Azerbaijan. I'll pay the fare.

Marchant has unfortunately butchered one try and been run into touch by Wade on another occasion but he's looking very sharp. The front row are having excellent games. Marcus Smith is Marcus Smith. Chisholm was rubbish, went off, and Morris hasn't impressed; the second rows aren't helping us either. Grr.

Marchant's made nearly 50m already. Wade's tackled him into touch once (really well done) and been bowled over by Marchant once. Sometimes I have to wonder what it is you see on the telly.

I still can't understand what went through Kyle's mind.

He's not like that is he? Or as usual am I missing something?

Honestly? It's not the first time I've seen him really lose his head on the pitch - he's always been really intense and it can boil over really weirdly.

Well, the typical Wade scenario has been to suddenly realise he's giving an overlap or he'll jump the gun and pinch in, so if they haven't scored on his wing when a man down, he must be doing something right!

Tiny bloke has to tackle like a madman to make a dent on most players, sometimes takes it too far. Very rarely

Seeing the replay, it was a lazy or desperate challenge to make a hit when he assumed his inside man had let Smith through. Didn't give himself time to adjust his feet and get low, just launched himself.

Fair red, stupid move, but I wouldn't call that malicious.

You're missing the context of him knocking out Ross Chisholm with a swinging arm to the jaw about 30 seconds earlier - the second tackle he launches himself into the guy's jaw. That DOES seem malicious to me. He had totally lost it.

Anything Dave Lewis can do

Game over for Wasps. We can't beat Quims with 15 players let alone 14. Shithouse play by Eastmond.
