All eyes were on Danny Cipriani as he started the game at ten. He had a mixed performance showcasing his attacking flair and weaknesses in defence. Cipriani had two kicks charged down. The Wasps defence were in superb form. James Haskell is coming back to his best. The first half was one way traffic as the home side racked up 21 points with some clinical attacking rugby. Harlequins were 21 -3 down at the start of the second half and it looked like the game was out of their reach. To Quin's credit they dug deep, won some ball and produced some fine rugby of their own. The highlight of the game was Danny Care's excellent solo try from the back of a half-way line thrown-in. He picked up a ball on a back peel, burst past his opposite number, chipped over the covering fullback and gathered the ball to score a fine try. Care's brilliance almost inspired a remarkable comeback but Wasps were good enough to hold on.
My man of the match: Care
