Not trying to take anything away from Wasps as they fully deserve the win but Tempest has been terrible! Some of the officials in the Premiership as thoroughly average. Glad we have Mr Barnes tomorrow!
Yes I agree.
Sir asking Street to get higher whilst warning his oppo West for hingeing was baffling.
That was Sir affecting the game in a big way in my opinion.
Not good.
Both sides got away with a lot. Exeter were still flopping all over the rucks etc and were getting praised by Healey for doing so! I really don't know what planet he's on sometimes
I still think Joe Simmons really is a good FH, Baxter is a super guy, never hear him :censored: accepts the loss like a real sportsman.
Paulo Odogwu looked a really good winger for Wasps, some will want to add him to the list of those that got away, he certainly looks a different player now.
Oh by the way regrettably we are now down into 11th position, hope we not 12th by tonight, we really do need to beat Bath tomorrow who look very strong on paper, its going to be a tough act to do it, hope we can.

I thought Tempest was poor to both sides. Umaga’s superman dive was very Chiefs-esq, perhaps that’s his audition to be signed by Rob Baxter next year.
Wasps will miss Rowlands when he goes to Wales next season.
Yeah the evolution of Rowlands as a player has been quite dramatic. He was such an average player and then hit some late development at the same time as Launchbury refound his form. Strong lock combo now. Richard Blaze is really getting the most out of them.
Rumours that Stooke will be his replacement. He looked like he was going to be some player initially but never quite fulfilled his potential. Perhaps they think they can bring him on as they did with Rowlands. There's certainly ability there to be brought out.
Simmonds is a good player no doubt,like his brother though I just don’t think he fits England’s style and they are both not that good that you would build a team around them. Ford is better than Joe imo so if you start Owen at 10 you would have Ford on the bench and I just don’t see Joe and Owen working as good as F and F do so there’s no way you would go that route either. It’s unfortunate but that’s just the way it goes.
