Dan Cole showing his captain qualities with a stupid yellow card, not the cleverest start!!!

As Flats said would have got away with 2 of those drives last week.
Very impressed with Reffell and the young 9.

It’s going a bit downhill now. We looked quite secure in defence but after the charge down and that try we look empty. Shame.
There is never any points for 2nd place...

To be honest the ref isn’t helping us at line out time. Hoping Borthwick improves that.

If I could do an emojis of a ball and bag that would be my thoughts on the ref...

It seems out defence is built entirely on it's own confidence, one knock (in this case a fortuitous charge down try) and it falls utterly to pieces...
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Nothing wrong with the ref, he’s Reffed both sides exactly the same, we are just not good enough at the moment.

I think it's more to do with the midfield defensive leader going off injured. Taute was at the heart of our defensive efforts. No coincidence that after he went off we started conceding ground and making errors in open play.

Murphy must be banging his head into his laptop with some of the easy penalties we've conceded. Need to tighten up a lot in the second half.

Agreed. We've made silly errors and Sale haven't.

Guess that's a result of spending too long forming a conga and not watching the opposition and giving them an easy route to your 9.

Another one who is missing them driving past the ball and taking players out ala Exeter. And yes I know they all miss it

For those that haven’t seen Wasps are 31-5 up at half time.

It is what it is, a scratch team playing a very predictable system and coming up short. I feel sorry for the players that have a lot more to give but can't because everything they do is so easily anticipated.
