Match Commentary

81'30-29 End of half
81'30-29 End of half
81'30-29 End of second half
81'30-29 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
80'He thumps it through and that's that, a one-point lead to take to Paris where Stade have only one less in the league this season. It could have been better but then again it could have been worse. A good game in the heat ... and so to France in six days
79'Wasps pressure now as they attack deep in the French 23. The defence holds but they concede a penalty in front of the posts. Three points and the win or go for broke? Goode takes the ball, 20 metres out almost in front
78'Substitute on - Ashley Johnson , Wasps
78'Player substituted - Laurent Panis , Stade Francais Paris
78'Substitute on - Rabah Slimani , Stade Francais Paris
78'Player substituted - Nathan Hughes , Wasps
75'Player substituted - Morne Steyn , Stade Francais Paris
75'Substitute on - Jules Plisson , Stade Francais Paris
75'27-29 Conversion - Jerome Fillol , Stade Francais Paris
74'And Jerome Fillol puts the visitors in front and that could be vital ahead of the second leg next Saturday
74'27-27 Try - Waisea Nayacalevu , Stade Francais Paris
73'Try of the day. Waisea Nayacalevu Vuidravuwalu get the ball inside his own half, breaks the line and his pace carries him well clear although questions will be asked baout Viliami Helu's tackle ... the crowd stunned but that was something special
73'Substitute on - Morne Steyn , Stade Francais Paris
73'Player substituted - Jules Plisson , Stade Francais Paris
71'Jules Plisson poleaxed as he got a tackle on Bell all wrong and took a knee to the head. Other players on the ground as the heat starts to take its toll. Pilsson stumbles off but Scott LaValla remains on his back having treatment
70'Player substituted - Djibril Camara , Stade Francais Paris
70'Substitute on - Jeremy Sinzelle , Stade Francais Paris
70'Substitute on - Taione Vea , Wasps
70'Player substituted - Phil Swainston , Wasps
69'Djibril Camara pulls up after just failing to chase down a kick for the line. he hobbles off
68'More boos as a booming long pass from Elliot Daly is ruled forward. It looked it but with the myriad of rules these days you can never be sure
66'Haskell back on having served his suspension, Wasps held on there with one converted score each while he was off
66'Player substituted - Ashley Johnson , Wasps
66'Substitute on - Guy Thompson , Wasps
66'Player substituted - Carlo Festuccia , Wasps
66'Substitute on - Tom Lindsay , Wasps
64'Substitute on - Anton van Zyl , Stade Francais Paris
64'Player substituted - Alexandre Flanquart , Stade Francais Paris
63'27-22 Conversion - Jerome Fillol , Stade Francais Paris
62'And Stade Francais hit straight back as Wasps seem to be caught napping, a charge down ends up with Jerome Fillol going over in the corner despite a desperate tackle from Simpson. Upstairs but it looks OK ... and the TMO rules it is. Cheers becomes silence
62'27-20 Try - Jerome Fillol , Stade Francais Paris
62'Player substituted - Matt Mullan , Wasps
62'Substitute on - Simon McIntyre , Wasps
62'27-15 Conversion - Andy Goode , Wasps
60'25-15 Try - Joe Simpson , Wasps
59'Oh wow. A turnover under their own posts and Joe Simpson runs three-quarters of the pitch and has enough pace to keep the chasing Stade players at bay. Great supporting run from Tom Varndell took two defenders with him
58'Stade Francais pressure continues and with Wasps down to 14 they will have to dig deep
57'Substitute on - Jerome Fillol , Stade Francais Paris
57'Player substituted - Julien Dupuy , Stade Francais Paris
56'20-15 Penalty goal - Julien Dupuy , Stade Francais Paris
56'Yellow card - James Haskell , Wasps
55'Fair call, quick penalty, Haskell, from the ground, tackled him within about two yards and arguably stopped a try-scoring chance as it was five metres out
54'Substitute on - Laurent Panis , Stade Francais Paris
54'Player substituted - Laurent Sempere , Stade Francais Paris
54'Substitute on - Jules Plisson , Stade Francais Paris

49'Player substituted - Zak Taulafo , Stade Francais Paris
47'20-12 Conversion - Andy Goode , Wasps
45'18-12 Try - Ashley Johnson , Wasps
44'Ashley Johnson this time matching Haskell in the speed stakes to latch onto a bobbling ball
42'James Haskell showed some gas to break away from the chasing Stade defence but Tom Palmer was adjuged to have knocked on.
41'Video ref trying to work out if it was a Stade or Wasps hand which knocked the ball forward in build up to Haskell going over
41'13-12 End of first half
40'A moment of danger as Joe Simpson breaks and feeds to James Haskell but he is brought to a half and that's half-time.
40'13-12 Start of second half
39'Tempers boil over with some pushing and shoving. No more than that, nothing serious. The referee gives the captains a talking to
37'Beautiful cross-field kick from Goode gathered by Viliami Helu who is bundled into touch
32'Djibril Camara 0 from 3 with an awful kick that barely makes the try line
32'13-12 Try - Djibril Camara , Stade Francais Paris
31'Djibril Camara strolls in at the corner, Wasps fall for a decoy run as they defend their line and he has all the time in the world. That was far too easy and all Wasps' hard work comes to nothing
28'13-7 Conversion - Andy Goode , Wasps
27'A roar as Goode kicks from the touchline
27'11-7 Try - Tom Varndell , Wasps
26'Lovely move, Wasps win the lineout, Goode with a slick passing missing the centres and Tom Varndell goes over in the corner. Deserved after looking the better side of late
24'Lovely break from his line from Hugo Bonneval to the halfway but he fails to release when tackled on halfway
23'Wasps looking the better side in the last ten minutes, Stade offering little but kicks
20'Stade Francais wanted a drinks break after 20 because of the heat. Wasps told them to behave like men and refused it!
19'It's not a sell-out but those here are making a good noise
18'Deft kick into the corner from Daly just too long, but that rattled the Stade defence
17'
16'Morne Steyn just pulls an ambitious drop-goal from 45 metres out wide. Few saw that coming
16'6-7 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
15'Stade offside and another penalty, more central and they will take the kick on this one, Goode no trouble. The referee has a word with the Stade captain as well
14'A quick break round the back from Nathan Hughes fails a yard short. Great Wasps pressure as the ball is run across the pitch
13'Lovely ball down the line, Elliot Daly just unable to make the final pass where there was an overlap. They have a penalty nonetheless and kick to the corner
11'3-7 Conversion - Julien Dupuy , Stade Francais Paris
11'3-5 Try - Zak Taulafo , Stade Francais Paris
10'Stade Français piled to the line, it's referred upstairs ... one of those where the TMO should have the role to play. Odd referral once you see the ref cam as he had the best view of them all and it was clearly a try for the former Wasps prop
9'Masi still being treated and the crowd continue to boo. The referee rules both were going for the ball in the air
8'Boos ring round the ground as Andrea Masi was taken out - late believe the crowd - but play goes on
7'Wasps conceded another kickable penalty, Nathan Hughes not rolling away after the tackle. Julien Dupuy puts this one to the right ... 0 from 2
5'Big kick from Julien Dupuy, always wide to the left
4'James Haskell penalised for not releasing. Around 40m out, central and Stade Français will go for the points
3'Lengthy delay as two players down after a collision from the restart, Wasps won possession and ran it to halfway. Sylvain Nicolas limps off and USA international Scott LaValla comes on. Phil Swainston recovers. He was wiped out with an elbow in the back off the ball. Not needed
3'Substitute on - Scott LaValla , Stade Francais Paris
3'Player substituted - Sylvain Nicolas , Stade Francais Paris
3'3-0 Penalty goal - Andy Goode , Wasps
2'Goode slots the first points, big cheer, he would not have minded his first kick being bang in front from 25 metres out
1'Wasps win an early penalty from the scrum that followed a knock-on from the kick-off. Scrappy start, Stade Francais penalised for going off their feet
1'Welcome to the new world of European rugby. The sun is blasting down, it's a real summer Sunday afternoon and the temperature could take a toll on some players at the end of a long season
1'0-0 Start of first half
