Kicking the ball away with 50 seconds left on a yellow is an interesting tactic.

Given the amount of butchery going on I can only presume this game is sponsored by Dewhurst.

Wasps do it again on 68 minutes plus and get penalised again. Wonder how Lol feels about that?

If Tigers could take Ford off, I think they would. He is, for reasons best known to himself, gagging to throw a 7 point interception.

Still, Tigers playing some decent stuff, and the scrum is a joy to behold. Takes me back...

Restart secured, but not only do they kick it away, it goes out on the full. So stupid.

Can I please have a Remy to wash down my fingernails?

Well played the pack. Really not sure about Ford. Some big calls would have been made given some fit centres?

Cheers folks! Ahhhhhh that's better.

Pity they didn’t stay with the team set-up that was winning in recent weeks. Injuries aren’t helping either.
Hopefully I’ll be eating my words at 80 mins...

A very tough match and a good win in the end.

Second half performance was like Tigers of old, how many times have Wasps failed to score in a half?

Genge, TPN, Cole to start next week please.

He lacked a little patience at the end but he opened up yhe Wasps defence in the first half and put some monster penalty kicks in to give us field position.

He does need to cut out the miss pass to the winger, it's too much of a trademark move and opposition teams are looking for it.

Great display. Not perfect but a valuable win. I though Kitch was unlucky not to get the man of the match award.

no one, people have said he no longer has the pace to play at 15 every week, he has enough pace and his brain is quick enough that he is still a top centre
