Wood is hammering Mujati. May looking good too, cracking game

Aye i'm enjoying it Pooly....just need to keep exploiting the high ball. Big Les not looking bad running at 12 either which is good.

His hands look a little loose but he's doing ok. May looks a threat everytime he touches the ball. PDJ doing well at LH 3 pens and a free kick his way, don't think the Gloucester TH is up to much cop.

Dowson playing very well

Glos th needs a bit more experience but he's done PDJ in a couple of scrums.....really can't stand stuart barnes!!

Could be worse Prop - could be that t w at Guscott...

Yeah I guess so.......thought we had it then till the last argh!!

what was James doing? cost Glaws the match - so needless and stupid.

Yeah I know, probably cited for that as well I guess.

Sharples and May were electric - you really missed Robinson today though, think he could be the most important player for Wasps this season!

Yeah we needed a tactical kicking fh today....something which shocked me was Saitns taking Myler off too.

Was an odd call - he played very well I thought. GUess they wanted to give Lamb a run out. Liked the look of Tom May.

Saints are bringing through a good batch of youngsters - bet I end up regretting selling Waller to Pete!

Yeah and Lewis Moody's clone put himself about a bit.

May was electric today and their 7 was excellent. Pdj struggled at 1 against our lad who is well short of experience. It's what happens when you play someone out of position. Their second row was frighteningly quick.

Thought Lewis went well also. Johnny May can play 11-15 and was best player on show. His defence is great also.

Chris robinson can't kick goals otherwise he is great he will lose wasps some games

will people absolutely slate me if I play JMH at 10 next week?

Barely played in years. He would carry very little rating for me. Ferris was getting slated for me before and he was only out 6 monyhs

its not like he played s hit when he played this season, he was going well for metro before injury

He was ok for metro. Played more 15. Been out a long time before that. I doubt he will come back the same player. Since the
Last wc he has played very little. Tremendous player when fit

yeh true, time will tell.

is naqalevuki not at the WC with Fiji??

No he scored yesterday and apparently was fantastic. Is it you who has him

yeh i have him, will be playing him next week.

Gutted I sold you Naqalevuki stnick!

yeh well you got Mapusua mate!

pete do you go on the craic website? so much rubbish posted on there it annoys me to read it!

I do mate, but not as much as I used to for the reason you put above. Lot's of posters on there who just rant about things and display a serious lack of knowledge of the game.

There are some really knowledgable guys on there who post some good stuff, but you have to really sift through some Poopie to get to it at times, particularly after we lose a game.

there's a load of people on there who think Tom Homer is god. i thought homer was decent defensively but missed two kickable attempts at goal and was sometimes a little clueless in attack, needs to back himself more and just attack the space and take contact if necessary.

we don't need massive changes next week, I'd just put Grey, Hala'vatu and Shingler in for Roche, Rautenbach and Jarvis.

Nick - I think you can get away with player Hernandez during the WC, when fit the guy is world class and him being woefully short of form etc, is going to be better than say me playing Myles Dorrian at 10. Depends who you play him against e.g. Nick Evans then you'd get marked down.

Think Robinson's got 100% record so far with his kicking Mat! Long let it continue - what is happening with GLoucester, have they got any money since their owner passed away. They produce some seriously talented youngsters!

Wonder who has the best academy - Wasps, GLoucester or Saints - was really impressed with the Moody clone today. Waller is top prop too and Haywood can take a punch :-)

I thought Homer did ok, looked solid and attacked well.

Agree on the changes, would have Bowden at 10 and Shingler at 12.

We are skint Chris but have bags of good young talent. Evans our young backrow is a excellent. To be fair a backline of sapolu tindall sharples jsd and Morgan is top particularly with may off the bench with big les. Problem is if we get injuries up front

as usual irish problems will be upfront

hodgson bowden tagicakibau hape ansbro ojo armitage, similarly to gloucesters that is a top backline.

Think Irish need to find someone different to hodgson. He was really poor yesterday and
Carried on last seasons form. I was shouting at the tv watching it today just Sayingove the ball quicker.

I think he is the root of their problems. Seems to have gone to pieces as he has been a great player over the years

couldnt agree more matt
whenever allinson comes on the service is so much better and quicker

Its a shame there isnt more money in rugby, Wasps are always making a loss - and when you see how much awful football players get its ridiculous. Saints and Tigers seem to be only ones that make money and Quins the only ones good with marketing!

Glos crowds are down due to recession.
Glos is a pretty poor place and there is quite a lot
Of unemployment. Add
To that the stadium extensions and you get why we are poor. Also we have adhere to the salary cap. How can saints be under the salery cap?

They must be using the same financial advisor as Tigers Mat!

Although with Saints they have a lot of youngsters and no real marquee players - that gigantic lock was playing in San Francisco last year, so doubt he's on much. Out of that team today can on imagine Mujati, PDJ, Dowson and Myler are on good amounts and only really miss Hartley, Tiny, Lawes, Foden and Ashton as big earners in the squad?

PDJ won 3 pens and a free kick against Gloucester 3. Nothing against, thought he done really well in scrum.

Conceeded 2 pooly. Going in on the angle against chistolini. Want to watch the game on tv later today as it was cracking live. We were expected to get a stuffing in the scrum and it did not materialise. Wood having the better of mujati was the key.

I am a massive pdj fan but he is no loosehead it also stopped him contributing elsewhere as he tired playing out of position. To be fair the reason they took Wilson to the wc was because he was more dual sided than PDJ. I would not have picked Wilson. Showed how important tiny and Hartley were yesterday as our front row was tiny and dawiduik is not a scrummaging hooker.

Biggest loss for us was Alex brown our lineout vanished when he left the pitch

Didn't see those Matt. There was one when the ref blew on his side but it was called on Mujati for going to ground. I don't think he's a LH either but he looked like he had the better of TH all game, esp the one right under the posts.

I was right next to the one where the ref called him. I thought he would give chistolini a roasting as he is still feeling his way although looks a prospect.

For me I would have pdj as the 2nd best scrummaging tight head in England set up. I would have taken him as specialist tighthead with Stevens filling the utility role. Dan cole offers little around the pitch and anchors the scrum well PDJ could do the same. Not many th's are good around the park so scrum is everything. If rugby was a 30 minute game then Julian White would get picked. One of the best tight head scrummagers ever but also one of the worst around the pitch ever

what time is the England v Argentina game on UK time?

9 am Uk time. I am going to be on holiday in Turkey which is 2 hours on so 11am is quite a nice time for the match!

kick off is 9.30am

Game of the weekend is the sunday with Wales vs South Africa. again 9.30 Kick off

Can't wait for that match Matt!! Going to get a nice big fry up ready for the Welsh upsetting the Saffa's

I think wales should concentrate on the Samoa game Prop. Cant see them beating saffers any day of the week. Samoa game is everything for qualification

I'll be happy if we beat Namibia at this rate Matt! Nah we have to go for 3 wins and see what we can nick from the Saffers-if we click it may work....think Galts missed a massive trick not taking Delve.
