Dawson looks forward to rematch with Leicester

MATT DAWSON last night gave the eagerly-awaited Heineken Cup rematch between Leicester and Wasps added spice by issuing a verbal riposte to his England rival, Harry Ellis.

Wasps star Dawson believes that Ellis tried to “rough him up” during Sunday’s ‘s thrilling Pool One battle between the clubs that Leicester won 37-31.

The victory put Tigers in pole position to secure quarter-final status at Wasps’ expense. If they complete a quickfire double at Welford Road next Sunday, then it would leave Dawson and company reeling.
