Most of the play has been in the Wasps half so far, with Newcastle on top but unable to get on the scoreboard as yet - partly through their own errors.

We've passed the 15 minute mark at Kingston Park.

No hanging around at the AJ Bell after that belter of a game, we're straight across to Franklin's Gardens for the next one....

Graham Kitchener and then Harry Thacker the culprits.
