Wasps and Leicester wage a gloriously flawed battle of heavyweights

Writing in The Telegraph, former England international Brian Moore takes a closer look at Wasps' Aviva Premiership victory over Leicester in his own inimitable style.

"I can’t yet decide whether I will pay to watch the David Haye v Audley Harrison fight, but I have an idea for a bout on the undercard.

"Sean Edwards, Wasps defensive coach, in the mood he was in at the end of the first half versus Richard Cockerill, the Leicester coach, as he was at the final whistle of a gorgeously flawed match on Saturday.

"Contradicting their ASBO images they were quick to identify significant points in a game where Wasps scored 19 unanswered points, following their 18-30 deficit at half-time, to win. What they did not say will be aired at the respective team debriefings on Monday and will be more interesting because, to anyone not seduced by the thrilling nature of the game, plainly unacceptable flaws marked both team’s performances."
