- Wasps 44-8 Bristol
- Scrum-half Dan Robson lights up Wasps’ first game of season
It was a fashionably late entrance to this season’s Premiership by Wasps but a performance that suggests they have substance to back up their style. They scored six tries – two from the debutant Ali Crossdale – and, with a vintage performance at scrum-half by Dan Robson, produced the kind of showing that pockmarked their run to the final the season before last. It made you wonder just what Lee Blackett’s side may be capable of when their injury problems clear.
Bristol would have been long odds indeed to be bottom of the Premiership after two matches with just one try to show for their efforts and while two late tries for Wasps put a layer of gloss on the result, they were emphatic victors. Brad Shields, who was sent off late on for a second yellow card, Dan Frost, Tom Willis and Zach Kibirige were also among the scorers on their first match of the new campaign – they were the “13th team” last week and as a result had a bye – but Robson was the architect.
