London Welsh got a dose of reality against Quins on Friday night, making, and I may have this wrong, the shortest journey between two premiership clubs from Old Deer Park (not Oxford!) to the Stoop. Monye and Robson grabbed a brace each, with Quins showing the kind of merciless attacking that made them so successful last season (40-3).
London Irish continued their unspectacular start to the season against Gloucester (31-40), with RGN favourite Ben Morgan (who I may have a punt on as highest scoring forward this season) scoring his first try for the cherry and whites. Added to Freddie Burns' 25 point haul, good times seem to have returned to the Glaaster camp, for the short term at least.
Saracens upset the party in Salford by beating Sale at their new ground (16-23). Sale were up for it to say the least and showed improvement from last week's humping by Exeter, but their 'rabbit in headlights' impression in the red zone is what they need to improve on, and fast.
We had Bath and Wasps going at each other like the reinvigorated teams they are, with Bath coming out on top (30-23) and making Gary Gold's appointment appear as possibly one of the most inspired DoR recruitments since Dean Richards took over at Quins. Early days though. Special mention to Kyle Eastmond who at points looked like a carbon copy of another former rugby league convert who played for Bath (albeit very briefly) Jason Robinson. However, have a look at the footage below to see that he has more to offer than feet and gas.
