They barely moved out of third gear, certainly in the second half, but, such is the torque of their sports cars on the wide outside, third gear was quite enough. Wasps were well worth the maximum points, however much they lost their way in the second half, with Danny Cipriani withdrawn as a precaution at the end of the first. You can’t defend against pace, they say, and Wade, Daly, Le Roux et al laid on quite the demonstration of that truth. Each of Wade’s first-half double was set up by the creative axis of Cipriani and Le Roux. In between, Joe Launchbury, magnificent in all departments, drove over from close range after Wasps had caused more havoc out wide.
