Wasps and Chiefs win (18/9/10)

[TRF_Olyy]

Tigers just blew a fairly decent lead (18 - 30 at halftime) to lose 37 - 30 away to the Wasps,

Exeter continue their season in style, beating Newcastle 22 - 17 at home

Exeter in third currently, with sundays matches a win for Irish will knock them down a place, or a big win for Sarries will as well. Dream start for them really.

Walder played a good game - best fly half performance I've seen this AP season. Chiefs are going to be loving this, 2/3 against good teams is a reasonable start of season record for them. My big concern for the Chiefs is the possibility of Steenson being injured - they win games on his stupendous kicking, but do they have someone else in the team who can back themselves and step up to his game if he limps out for a couple of games...

Wasps v Tigers was a very entertaining match.
Thought Varndell looked good attacking and got to give credit to the Wasps for hanging in there.
The last try for the Wasps was incredible- what a bounce.
Murphy looked devastated, they had the match all wrapped up at halftime.

Chiefs look good so fat, hopefully it will continue!

Had the Tigers' game on the radio, the BBC Leicester commentators are rubbish, so I don't really know what happend. Will watch the extended highlights tomorrow.

Good to see Exeter continuing their run of form.

I feel better for watching the highlights, it looked like a good game. Tigers were the better team in the first half, Wasps in the second, and it was Walder's goal kicking that gave them the extra edge. All fairly obvious, but that's how I saw it.

Murphy probably would've been tackled and pinged for holding on if he had caught that ball, so I can't blame him, especially as he was good in attack. Twelvetrees looked a bit lazy in his passing, but took his try well. In fact, all the tries were good.

A bit more rollocking from Cockers on the silly little errors, some sharpening up in attack, and I think we'll be in good shape to batter Treviso.

Just saw the highlights of this match, and really enjoyed it, ... was really impressed with Ben Youngs ... it was also pretty good defense on a couple of occassions by Riki Fluety on the other ex-Hurricane, Thomas "The Tank Engine" Waldrom
