For those who watched it on TV, why did Barnes take Quins back 10 twice? I can't remember the last time I saw that happen once in a Premiership match, let alone twice!
Not explained I think.There was some 'interesting' play last night. The gaps that were left would have generated comment from our team coach at level 5.
Great game to watch though. I always knew that Wasps would make a comeback and take the match and I was expecting the turn around right up until 10 mins to go. Two yellows didn't help. It seemed that Wasps monopolised possession in the first half and came into the break behind. That took genius I thought.
The crowd seemed to enjoy it.

One of them was for Mike Brown walking off with the ball after Wasps were awarded a penalty. Barnes said something like "I told you I'd penalise you if you did that again, and you just did it. "

Indeed. Still overcome by excitement.It was an odd match.
I'm off to Worthing now. As I video my team's matches, Brighton, I go through a whole season without seeing a live match.
The Raiders have to win and look to other teams to lose to stay in NL South. Should be a lively match, and one that I will see.

Yes it was. Wasps have fallen off the pace of late so I expect a Chiefs/Sarries final. Should be a cracker.
Probably right, although it's interesting how much there still is to play for this late in the season!Wasps, Chiefs & Sarries all in the semis, but home advantage still to be determined.
Leicester probably in the semis, but could still be beaten to it by Bath if Worcester pull a big performance out of the bag.
Quins, Saints and even - mathematically - Gloucester still in the running for the final Champions' Cup place.
It's only the bottom four without anything but pride to play for...

If we had played like that all season we would have been easily top 4!
We lost to Bristol FFS!!!
Still - at least secured Champions Cup and still an outside chance of the top 4.
Bodes well for post Ford era.
The same could be said for Quins playing top of the table Wasps though, so don't feel too frustrated! We lost to Bristol FFS!!!
