Hanks proud after Wasps test champs

WASPS head coach Tony Hanks was proud of his players after the London club came close to pulling off a shock victory at the reigning Heineken Cup champions.

David Skrela booted all of the home side’s points with six penalties but Wasps almost claimed a famous triumph after David Lemi grabbed the only try of the game while fly-half Dave Walder missed a late minute penalty to win the match.

Hanks admitted: “We came here to win and didn’t just come here to make up the numbers. There was enough belief within our side and we prepared well. What we need to make sure of that people aren’t just talking about what we did today.”
