Dai wants more sting by Wasps

-

DAI YOUNG was unimpresse­d with Wasps’ performanc­e despite their bonus-point win. The victory puts Wasps five points clear of Exeter at the top but they struggled until Bryce Heem was red-carded in the 45th minute for a reckless challenge on Willie Le Roux with the score 19-19. Numerical advantage and the class of Christian Wade (above), who scored twice, were enough to see the hosts to a nervy win. Will Rowlands, Josh Bassett, Brendan Macken and Alapati Leiua also crossed. Director of rugby Young said: “There were very few areas of our game that pleased me. “Worcester won nearly all the 50-50s and were first to react in terms of mind and deed and our performanc­e didn’t match the five points. “Christian was probably the difference.”
