    Well, I'm off to try and work out if I can squeeze Elliot Daly into a hypothetical England XV.

    He was superb tonight, making one try and scoring another within two first-half minutes.

    Alex Tait had already put Newcastle in front by that point, and after the break they led again through Juan Pablo Socino's intercept try.

    But the points were shared as Daly, once again, created an opening, this time for Guy Thompson.

    Wherever you're watching your rugby this weekend, I hope it's half as fun as this was.

  2. And there's morepublished at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2015

    Speaking of games this weekend, don't forget there's plenty of other Premiership action still to come.

    There will be a sizzler at The Rec, when leaders Northampton take on second-placed Bath.

    Elsewhere on Saturday, Gloucester will look to hand London Welsh a 25th defeat of the season, Sale host Saracens and Exeter go to Quins.

    It all finishes up on Sunday, when London Irish welcome Leicester Tigers.

    So what does it do to the Premiership table?

    Well, two points is enough for Newcastle to climb above London Irish into 10th, with the Exiles hosting Leicester on Sunday.

    And Wasps stay sat in fourth, but will slip to fifth if Exeter can win a Harlequins tomorrow.

    Final score

    Here's the breakdown of tonight's scorers. Even Stevens all round really,

    Three tries a piece is pretty decent, right?

    Newcastle fly-half Tom Catterick tells BT Sport: "We made a few silly errors. But neither team deserved to lose.

    "We got a rocket after last week (losing 46-17 at Exeter) and we said the first 20 minutes were going to be important. "

    Wasps fly-half Andy Goode tells BT Sport: "We were way off. We had an opportunity at the end but didn't take it.

    "Credit to Newcastle, they played some good stuff. Sinoti is a good player isn't he?"

    So it finished with a whimper rather than a big bang, but that was a joy to watch.

    Difficult to pick a man of the match, with Sinoti Sinoti in superb form for Falcons. But Elliot Daly was almost a one-man show at times.

    Nope.

    Wasps lose it at the line-out and Tom Catterick decides Newcastle will take the draw by thumping it out of play.

    Wasps win a penalty from the scrum. Andy Goode goes to the touchline.

    We're past 80 minutes. Late drama?

    "This is going to be a big last minute. One missed tackle and it's game over."

    Wasps survive and have the ball back in their hand. A knock on gives them a scrum, so they have one last chance to build.

    It's all Newcastle. They're banging on the door, but Wasps are keeping them on the edge of they're 22m line.

    Falcons will look to make something from a scrum.

    At the risk of sounding saccharine, can both these sides win please?

    As it stands, one drop goal, one error, one moment of magic will nick it in the last four minutes.

    Speaking of Andrea Masi, it's not looking too good for him right now.

    Medics are strapping him on to a stretcher after he went down with what looked like a calf injury. That's it for him.

    It's getting all sorts of scrappy in the middle of the park, but I'm not complaining.

    Errors mean tries and tries mean more fun.

    Amid all that Andrea Masi plants a meaty tackle on Sinoti Sinoti that has a bit of extra pepper on it.

    This is fun to watch.

    It looks like Elliot Daly might be away again, but Christian Wade's pass to him is marginally forward.

    We'll get a chance to breathe in a moment.

    Elliot Daly has been tremendous today, and he just got even more tremendous.

    He charges forward and, under pressure, delivers a lovely one-handed pass to Guy Thompson, who crosses down the middle.

    In case you needed me to tell you, it's game on.

    "What a try by Juan Pablo Socino! He intercepted the ball deep inside his own half and, with a bit of jiggery-pokery, he got there. What ever happens now, the crowd have seen a great game of rugby and have got to go home happy."
