What a day for Joe Simpson!
The scrum-half strolls in to score following a Ruan Ackermann break and he has two against his former side. Gloucester are in control again.
It is indeed a yellow card to Wasps' Malakai Fekitoa for an off-the-ball incident. Gloucester breath a sigh of relief and clear from the five-metre line.
Wasps are slowly clawing their way back into this and Lima Sopoaga reduces the gap to seven with a penalty in front of the posts to begin the second half.
Joe Simpson joined Gloucester this summer and he scores a superb try to put his new team further ahead, kicking forwards from half-way and sliding over from about ten metres out.

Gloucester scored the last time they were in this position...but Wasps win a massive penalty at the scrum and clear their lines.
Brilliant from Jason Woodward! Gloucester finally cross the whitewash and it's a piece of magic from the full-back that creates it.
The hosts have a line-out on the five-metre line and spring an attack to the right, where it comes to Woodward.
