Wasps verdict from Newcastle cup win: South African fire, Feyi-Waboso's 100mph start, pure blood bonus

Wasps got their first win of the season as they defeated Newcastle Falcons 35-21 at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday night. Wasps raced into a 21-0 lead at half-time thanks to tries from Kieran Curran, Greg Fisilau, Michael van Vuuren, Nathan Greenwood and Harry Craven. Josh Peters scored for Falcons when Will Haydon-Wood was sin binned. Iwan Stephens scored in the corner.

Wasps beat Newcastle in the Premiership Rugby Cup first round. The matchday squad was made up of experienced players and academy players. There were a lot of Wasps players in attendance. The game had the feeling of grassroots rugby. It lifts everybody and shows the culture is right within the group. Wasp won the match. They will play against Saracens in second round on Saturday.

Wasps beat Newcastle in the cup. Michael van Vuuren scored two tries. Tom Cruse, Dan Frost and Gabriel Oghre are all fighting for the number two shirt. Michael is a different option for Wasps.

Louis Rees-Zammit scored a try for Gloucester against Wasps in round one. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso impressed in defence and front-line for Harry Craven's try. He could be given a chance to play for WasPS this season.

Haydon-Wood played well at fly-half against his former employers. He was yellow carded late on. His shots at goal were flawless. If Wasps continue to have issues with consistent goal kicking, Haydon Wood could find his way into the starting line-up.

Greg Fisilau, Kieran Curran, Fyn Brown and James Tunney impressed for Wasps in their win over Newcastle Cup. Wasp have a lot of back row options within their academy. They hope that one or two of them will go on to have long and successful careers at WasPS. The players were all very impressive. It was their first win in the competition since the 2013.
