  1. Penalty - Wasps 6-14 Bathpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Freddie Burns

    Wasps concede another penalty.

    This time for a tackle way too far past the ruck.

    Another chance for Freddie Burns and he has the legs from 42 metres.

  2. Sin-bin - Nizaam Carrpublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Wasps 6-11 Bath

    Craig Hampson throws a very poor pass that's picked off by Semesa Rokoduguni.

    He races towards the Bath 22 and Nizaam Carr is forced to take him high to end the move.

    Freddie Burns can't knock over the points from wide out though.

    Newcastle 6-3 Gloucester

    It's tight at Kingston Park. Gloucester have had possession and territory but too many errors are costing them - not that Newcastle will mind.

    The Falcons are climbing off the bottom of the table as it stands.

    Wasps 6-11 Bath

    Scrum penalty to Bath. James Wilson kicks them up to the 22.

    It's another poor maul and Wasps hack clear, Freddie Burns beats Josh Bassett to the loose ball but carries it out.

    But then Wasps knock-on after the line-out. Scrappy few minutes.

    Second pen for Sonatane Takulua and Falcons lead for the first time 6-3. Falcons have had decent possession and opportunity, largely through Vereniki Goneva who looks up for it!

  6. Penalty - Newcastle 6-3 Gloucesterpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Sonatane Takulua

    Newcastle hit the front, with all the points coming from the boot so far.

    Sonatane Takulua makes no mistake as he slots a kick between the sticks from inside the Gloucester 22.

    Brad Shields concedes the penalty.

    Bath works it very well from the line-out, going away from then coming back to the left-wing.

    Space opens up for Freddie Burns and he shows and goes into the gap to run in his third try of the season.

    He just pushes a tough conversion attempt.

  8. Penalty - Wasps 6-6 Bathpublished at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Freddie Burns

    Elliot Daly misses touch with a clearance and Bath run it back into Wasps territory.

    Michael Le Bourgeois is reckoned to not have rolled away from the ruck in time.

    Freddie Burns tees it up from 40 yards out on a little angle and makes a good connection.

    Wasps 6-3 Bath

    Good line-out ball for Bath just inside the Wasps half.

    Ruaridh McConnochie comes racing forward on the left-wing and Willie Le Roux takes him high.

    Quite wide out so Bath go for the corner and their line-out man is taken in the air.

    Deeper into the corner this time but Bath lose the ball in the maul.

    It's 3-3 now after 18 minutes, with a penalty apiece. The crowd giving the Falcons some wonderful support.

  11. Penalty - Wasps 6-3 Waspspublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Billy Searle

    Bath make a mess of the restart.

    Nizaam Carr with a strong carry and Nathan Catt is this time pinged at the ruck.

    So it's an identical kick for Billy Searle as Freddie Burns just converted and Wasps re-take the lead.

  12. Penalty - Wasps 3-3 Bathpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Freddie Burns

    This time Wasps make a mess of their own line-out.

    Max Wright trucks it forward for Bath and Thomas Young is penalised for going off his feet at the ruck.

    Freddie Burns with a shot from 39 metres, fairly straight, and Bath are level.

    Newcastle 0-3 Gloucester

    First real attack of the game for Newcastle with a 5m line-out but Gloucester's defence is solid and forces the Falcons driving maul out of play.

    Wasps 3-0 Bath

    Bath lose their own line-out and Wasps pounce to enter the Bath 22 again.

    Billy Searle floats a pass out to Elliot Daly who feeds Ross Neal on the right wing and only the covering James Wilson saves the day for the visitors.

    Wasps 3-0 Bath

    Wasps v BathImage source, Getty Images

    Bath try to hit straight back.

    Semesa Rokoduguni claims a clearance on half-way and races up the right wing into the 22.

    Bath pick and go but are then penalised for going off their feet.

    That probably happens at numerous rucks but not often gets pinged.

  16. Penalty - Newcastle 0-3 Gloucesterpublished at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Billy Twelvetrees

    First points on the board in the north east too as Billy Twelvetrees lands a long-range penalty to give Gloucester the lead.

    There's certainly a party spirit at Kingston Park, with one group of supporters dressed as toy soldiers!

  17. Penalty - Wasps 3-0 Bathpublished at 15:04 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Billy Searle

    The home side with some good early phases.

    Sam Underhill is penalised at a ruck just outside the 22 and Wasps point for the posts.

    Home side ahead through the left boot of outside-half Billy Searle.

    Not far from a sell-out here at the Ricoh, just the kind of big occasion Wasps need.

    It's been a difficult few months on and off the field, with only one win in 11 matches.
