London Wasps 36 Bordeaux-Bègles 13: match report Replacement hooker Tom Lindsay gave Wasps some relief from their Premiership struggles with the late try that clinched a plum home quarter-final against Biarritz. Wasps needed a bonus-point victory to avoid a trip to Paris to face Stade Français, but it looked like eluding them until Lindsay rounded off a superb counter-attack from his own 22 three minutes after replacing England squad newcomer Rob ­Webber. Premiership survival - Wasps are nine points clear of bottom-placed Newcastle - remains the priority but a successful campaign in the pool stages of Europe's second-tier ­competition should boost confidence. One thing I have tried to instil in the team is character. Yes, you can work on things, but it's very hard to build character and this team has shown that in abundance in the last two games," said director of rugby Dai Young. It gives us something to look forward to in the latter stages of the season, a bit of confidence and a bit of belief. Bordeaux were limited in attack but tenacious in defence and Wasps had scored only two tries with eight minutes remaining. Welsh referee Neil Hennessy finally ran out of patience with Bordeaux's spoiling tactics when he awarded a penalty try after a series of penalties were conceded close to the line. That gave Wasps the break they needed and a crunching tackle from Elliot Daly forced Bordeaux to turn over possession in attack. Joe Simpson, another member of England's Six Nations squad, launched the counter-attack which was sustained by Richard Haughton and expertly finished by Lindsay. Daly also shone in attack, demonstrating pace and vision to beat three men to score a brilliant try that countered an early interception from ­Bordeaux's Tongan wing Vunga Lilo. Simpson and Jack Wallace then combined to set up flanker Matt Everard but Wasps still had to rely on the boot of Ryan Davis, who recovered from missing four of his first five kicks, to lay the platform for victory.
