Mark Laycock
Newcastle Falcons academy manager on BBC Newcastle

"It came from another kick that Wasps didn't deal with. That composure is something that's been lacking from Newcastle recently and it was great they were able to finish it off."

Newcastle get a very early reward for their fine start.

Sinoti Sinoti slips through a few tackles, before Simon Hammersley manages to use his head to keep the move going.

And Alex Tait, who was switched to the wing before kick-off, is given a lovely long pass by Adam Powell to cross.

And from tackling practice we go to kicking practice, with the ball going back and forth a few times.

Eventually Andy Goode puts it out for a Newcastle line-out.

Bright start from Newcastle, moving the ball from side to side.

It's a chance for Wasps to throw in a few tackles and they'll be happy with how they defended that opening exchange.

Sinoti Sinoti already looking for a couple of gaps.

And here we go. That man Andy Goode gets us under way and Newcastle take possession.

And as we wait for the two sets of players to get down to business, just a quick reminder that our vote will close at 20:30 GMT.

Replacements: McGuigan, Orlandi, Wilson, Thompson, Mayhew, Tipuna, Clegg, Tiesi.

Wasps are strong favourites tonight, but Andy Goode is taking nothing for granted.

"They're playing a great brand of rugby this year, especially at home on the artificial pitch," he told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.

"They've really improved the quality of their game and the matches up at Kingston Park.

"That's a credit to the coaching staff there. I think Dean Richards, John Wells and especially Dave Walder in attack have done a fabulous job."

Thee's been a late change for Newcastle. Noah Cato has withdrawn, so Alex Tait shuffles across to the wing and Simon Hammersley comes in at full-back.

Falcons though have two players back who were strutting their stuff at Twickenham last weekend - England prop Kieran Brookes starts, as does Italy lock Josh Furno.

Ashley Johnson and his magnificent hair are both in the Wasps XV, following the flanker's suspension.

And James Downey gets his second start since arriving on loan from Edinburgh Warriors.

Sunday is a big day for Leicester eight Jordan Crane, who will mark his 200th Tigers appearance by captaining the side at London Irish.

And hooker Tom Youngs and flanker Tom Croft return from England duty.

Meanwhile, Scotland's Geoff Cross returns for London Irish, who came close to rattling champions Northampton last week.

And speaking of Charlie Hodgson - he rounds off our fave five fly-halves.

Points win prizes, they say, and nobody has more points than Charlie.

With 2,427 of them across 229 Premiership games, he tops the all-time list. The prizes side of the equation is less weighty, with his one domestic title coming with Sale in 2006.

But his 38 caps earned through the Jonny Wilkinson era are not to be sniffed at, and he remains as reliable as ever as Owen Farrell's stand-in at Saracens.

Tom Allen:, external #bbcrugby Charlie Hodgson, Top points scorer, led Sale to Premiership title and was their best player for years.

Stewart McCullough:, external @BBCSport @jimmygopps is up there!

Ah, yes, another name to mention - former Newcastle fly-half Jimmy Gopperth scored 670 points in 65 appearances during his time with the Falcons.

If Exeter have designs on making the play-offs, a win at Harlequins will definitely state their intentions.

The Chiefs destroyed Newcastle last week to end a four-game losing slump.

But Quins are boosted by the return of veteran eight Nick Easter, who has been released from the England squad for the weekend.

A win would reignite their Heineken Cup hopes.

Newcastle have so much promise throughout their squad, but it means nothing if you're not picking up the victories.

That's something Falcons centre Juan Pablo Socino has been talking about this week.

"It's about time we start to get those wins on the backs of those performances and hopefully that will be the case this Friday," he said.

"We should have a good crowd and the bigger the better. We want to give them the performance they deserve."

Gone from these shores, but certainly not forgotten. Toby Flood's England career always seemed to be smothered by a Jonny Wilkinson-shaped shadow, but the former Newcastle and Leicester 10 still has an impressive 60 caps to his name.

Now with Toulouse, so out of the England picture, the 29-year-old racked up three domestic titles during his Tigers career, and has a metronome boot to complement his back-line management skills.

Is the safest bet in sport at the moment on a London Welsh defeat?

Justin Burnell's side have suffered defeat in all 24 of their games this term - and you can get an insight into how that feels in this great feature.

Gloucester, meanwhile, will keep their top-six hopes alive with a win at Kingsholm.

A dominant fly-half from a dominant team. Wasps were unstoppable between 2002 and 2005 - winning three successive Premiership titles.

Alex King was their go-to man and delivered time after time, particularly in 2003 when he contributed 24 points in a victory over Gloucester as Wasps became the first team to become champions by winning the play-offs.

Did we mention a 2004 Heineken Cup success too? Maybe King deserves our fly-half crown?
