Wasps v Bristol Sunday, 18 September

[Chuckles1188]

Wade pulls a try basically out of his arse. Wasps 44-8 with the conversion (hasn't been taken yet but was scored under the posts).

On another note, Hughes still not looking anything close to his best

Let's see how Hughes goes in the remaining 35 mins of the half.

I grant you it's early doors, but it seems pretty clear to me that something isn't quite right with him.

[Mick Mannock]

Should be looking for 70 at least now.

I have big doubts about his scrummaging.

[Mick Mannock]

Now a long range Cipriani try

[Chuckles1188]

Try for Cips after a nice little inter-play with Halai, and good pace to finish it off.

Is Eastmond on at fullback? Interesting call

Whatever position he's playing it's not going very well for him so far. Two touches and both have ended up handing over possession.

[Petros]

Smashley goes over to bring the 60 up 63-15 with 12 mins to go

[Chuckles1188]

And Smashley goes in for his second off another maul. 63 -15 after the conversion

This is looking like a bit of a training run for Wasps if we're being honest. No idea who you'd pick as MotM, almost everyone is just doing their job well.

Is this on TV?

[comets]

70-22

[Mick Mannock]

Is this on TV?

I am watching on B365. Nearly over now.

[comets]

3 wasps players got doubles ..lol

[Chuckles1188]

Full time, 70 - 22. Not quite a big enough margin to hit the top of the table but still a nice little run. Wasps have a lot of good players in the squad these days, not just the big names either. Rieder and Myall with strong performances

[Petros]

and Wigglesworth spared Briz two or three tries by calling forward passes that were less forward than Marchant's try in the LDH

[Nieghorn]

This has a "no big deal" look to it...

[Brumby_in_Vic]

Bristol need to get rid of dimwit if they want to stay up this season

[Petros]

17 tries in 3 games so far, and that included 4 at Tigers and 3 v Exeter

[The Man Without Fear]

Newcastle miss a drop goal well after 80 on the clock (Freddie Burns head injury in the dying seconds of the match) to lose by a point to Leicester. Healey and Dallaglio adamant Youngs the Tiny gave away two consecutive scrum penalties for playing Pop up Pirate.

[TopNacker]

You can only play what's in front of you. Some more impressive performances from Wasps today led by Taylor, Simpson, Gaskell, Wade, McIntyre, JCW, Cips, Daly. Rieder had a fantastic 80 min game, also impressed by Cips stamina and pace.

Taylor and Simpson would stroll into my current England XV. Kruis must be under threat from Gaskell, Lawes and Launch. How much longer can Wade be ignored ? Lots of props banging on the door of Marler and Cole.

Good start but Tigers continue to look a bit pants and Bristol are obviously very shit.

Next weekend will give a better indiction of Wasps' credentials this season. Sinners looked very physical and highly motivated in their loss to Sarries.

[Chuckles1188]

Until Waller's red mist moment they also looked very strong defensively, in a way that Tigers and Brizzle haven't. Turning Chiefs over in the opening game of the season suggests Wasps' results aren't just the result of shitty opposition though

That is some very impressive LTVGing there.

Based on a performance against Bristol coached by Dimwit, no less

Shouldn't you put "coached" in inverted commas?

[Chuckles1188]

I should have, yes. The shame burns deep

[Tighthead]

I was in attendance today with my 7 year old son. Despite supporting the much loathed Sarries I must say Wasps do a good day out. They have marketed so well. The first game we went to, Junior received a flag. Second time a hat. Now he's a Wasps supporter and I'm buying their merchandise.

Hopefully his good taste will rub off on you

[Frodder]

That's quite some hiding. I assume Briz are heading for a London Welsh style exit out of the top flight?

I'm not so sure. I think they're having trouble catching up with the pace of the prem. The next few games should be interesting.

Good taste?! Don't be ridiculous! I'm South African!

Not at all convinced they'll get Welsh style drubbings off teams like Wuss and Falcons

[aitch@wasps]

Plus all the alleged knock-ons that had zero forward momentum... He really is rubbish!

Interesting comment from Tighthead re the Wasps marketing.
