Players of the day - Aviva Premiership
Tom Cruse - Wasps
The dynamic hooker was all over the park today and threw well at lineout time. He scored two tries, one off the back of a rolling maul and one impressive block down which sealed the victory for the home side.
Tim Visser - Harlequins
That is superb! 👌

The ''Flying Dutchman'' showed he is still as good as ever when he picked off a pass from James Wilson and ran the length of the pitch to give Quins their opening score of the game. Visser was impressive in defence as he won two jackling penalties at the breakdown and also brought his usual aerial dominant game.
Joe Simmonds - Exeter Chiefs
The youngster stepped up to the plate this afternoon and grabbed this rare opportunity to start a Premiership match with both hands. From the start, he immediately stamped his authority on the game with accurate kicking, both out of hand and from the tee. He showed some lovely touches in attack, dazzling footwork and beautiful offloading. He slotted 4/5 kicks and was responsible for 12 of Exeter's 24 points. Definitely an exciting prospect for English rugby.
