Wasps finished top of last season’s Aviva Premiership table and they lead the way again after the opening fortnight of the new campaign. Watson’s electric chip and chase was comfortably the game’s most compelling moment and earned an approving post‑match text from his brother. A third try late on from Josh Bassett, courtesy of Danny Cipriani’s lovely cross‑kick, merely compounded the Warriors’ frustration. Not for the first time, however, the Warriors’ storm blew itself out prematurely, leaving Wasps’ director of rugby, Dai Young, suitably relieved. Wasps’ next game is a home fixture with Harlequins and, with Wade likely to be out for another week at least, Watson can expect more first-team action.
