Bonus-point win lifts Wasps three clear

WASPS director of rugby Tony Hanks was delighted with the pay-off for the hard work which ensured yesterday’s Heineken Cup clash with Newport Gwent Dragons went ahead.

His side romped to a 37-10 bonus-point victory in front of a 1,236 crowd at Adams Park that lifted them three clear of Toulouse in Pool Six.

The match was given the green light less than three hours before kick-off with a lack of medical support staff threatening to force its postponement. “We were rapt that the game was played. It’s credit to everyone involved getting the game on by getting the right areas clear,” Hanks said.
