Quick question. Have channel 4 or 5 picked any live premiership games up this season?

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!

He has allowed Wasps to get away with murder.

Chiefs undone by a lack of grunt in the pack. Only one lock starting Vs three for Wasps. Gaskell was brilliant at 6 for Wasps and allowed the Rowlands and Launchbury combo to bring the physicality.

Joe Simmonds was exceptional even behind a beaten pack. The hype around young Marcus Street looks a bit OTT at present he's a real prospect but won't be more than third choice at Chiefs for a bit longer yet.

“ He has allowed Wasps to get away with murder”

That’s cheered me up even more with what Chiefs get away with at times!

Yes particularly because he's allowed Wasps to defend their own rucks by going off their feet a routine Chiefs tactic. They may have taken it too far though as young Umaga could be getting a citing for diving in without the arms, didn't see where it connected but there was no control to go with the no arms.

Had sir not allowed Tom Willis and Brookes to end up in the wrong side of a rolling maul two metres out and tackle the ball carrier just before half time it could have been a different outcome. Looked a stone wall penalty try and yellow card to me.

Baxter was very magnanimous in his interview during the game as normal. I do have a lot of time for him.

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.
