Match Commentary

81'41-10 End of second half
80'De Jongh and Le Roux take Wasps into the Quins 22 but as the ball comes back it is lost forward and that will be it. A much-needed win for Wasps, who looked to be back to their best.
80'Daly boots Wasps downfield, so we will end with an attacking lineout for the hosts.
80'Huge applause all around the Ricoh as Saili is stretchered away from the field. Get well soon Francis.
80'This doesn't look good, as oxygen is given to Saili and the stretcher is brought out onto the pitch.
80'We've got a late stoppage though as Saili gets in the wrong position while tackling Joe Launchbury. Quins medical staff are on and attending to the centre.
80'Substitute on - Elia Elia , Harlequins
80'Player substituted - Francis Saili , Harlequins
79'Wasps look to launch one last attack from deep.
78'Quins have an attacking lineout. Luamanu drives towards the line, but once again the Wasps defence -- and Jack Willis -- come up with the turnover.
76'Wade leads another Wasps attack down the right wing. It's fair to say they've rediscovered their mojo this evening.
75'Visser founds some space down the left wing but as Quins try to recycle the ball it is lost.
73'41-10 Conversion - Rob Miller , Wasps

51'Substitute on - Mark Lambert , Harlequins

50'Yellow card - Joe Marler , Harlequins

41'Player substituted - Joe Gray , Harlequins
41'+221-3 End of first half
40'Brown is back on for Quins. Again they set the drive from the lineout, Matt Luamanu eventually takes the ball up to the line but Hughes leads the defensive effort as the forward is bundled into touch to signal the end of the first half.

Wasps deserve their lead, but Quins will wonder how it is so big.
40'Another penalty as Wasps pinged for taking the man in the air and Quins will take another lineout.

34'21-3 Conversion - Jimmy Gopperth , Wasps
33'TRY! Wasps secure the lineout and set the drive, with Gopperth adding his weight to the push. Their power eventually tells and Johnson flops over the line.

32'Yellow card - Mike Brown , Harlequins
31'Le Roux isn't able to find Wade in the right corner as play spreads wide, but did Mike Brown knock that on deliberately? We're going back upstairs..

30'Walker penalised, but nothing more.

28'Wasps again look to attack down the left wing, but Gopperth cannot hold onto Le Roux's pass.
26'Excellent from Willie Le Roux, on the edge of his 22 on the left flank, he produces a left-footed kick that takes play back into Quins territory.
24'Daly takes a quick lineout and Hughes is off with ball in hand making inroads into the Quins defence. The crowd liked that.
22'A loose throw from Ashley Johnson gives possession back to Quins.
17'Visser does well to keep play alive on the left wing as Wade looks to bundle him into touch.
16'NO TRY! Referee Mathieu Raynal decides that Charlie Matthews' presence creates the space for Care to run into.
16'Phil Swainston bursts into the 22 with ball in hand for Quins. As the ball is spun wide Joe Marler makes a few yards. Care is up to the line but did he get the ball down? We're going upstairs.

13'Tim Visser takes possession deep inside the Quins half.
12'14-3 Penalty goal - Marcus Smith , Harlequins

7'TRY! Gopperth charges down Smith's attempted crossfield kick, Elliot Daly kicks through and Christian Wade is there to control the ball and score.
7'Excellent kick from Smith, who has had half a dozen stitches in a head wound picked up in the warm up. Robson is unable to keep the ball in and Quins will have a lineout in Wasps territory.
