WASPS RELISH LYON’S DEN

WASPS take on Lyon in the Challenge Cup semi-final today, knowing it is their only hope of silverware this season. Lee Blackett’s side will be underdogs but have already won away at Biarritz and Edinburgh this season. ‘The pleasing thing with the win against Edinburgh was how we reacted to the crowd,’ said Blackett. ‘It was the same with Biarritz. It definitely goes up a volume in France and it can be really hostile. Lyon are a massive collision team. If it comes down to individual moments, they’ve got people who can really hurt you.’
