Leinster will bounce back from Wasps defeat, insists Dai Young

Dai Young stood patiently at the back of the press room yesterday evening, nursing a can of beer as he waited for Leo Cullen to finish and take his own turn in front of the microphones.

It was well-earned.

The Welshman has spearheaded a miraculous turnaround in Wasps’ fortunes since joining as head coach and the progress made was franked yesterday given they won in Dublin by 27 points 12 months after suffering a five-point defeat at the same venue against the same opposition.
