Wasps swarming for crack at third European title

WASPS boss Ian McGeechan hailed a “tremendous performance” by the Heineken Cup holders that effectively ended Llanelli Scarlets’ European challenge and kept his team on course to make English rugby history.

No Premiership club has won three European titles, but Wasps are chasing that ground-breaking achievement after crushing Llanelli 33-17 at Stradey Park in Munster’s Pool 5.

The bonus point victory, underpinned by centre Fraser Waters’ try double, took them to top of Pool Five and set up enticing back-to-back clashes against French heavyweights Clermont Auvergne next month.
