Wasps stunned favourites Leicester 25-9 before a world-record club attendance of 81,076 at Twickenham on Sunday to seize their second European crown in four years.

"At the moment we don't have the resources or financial clout that Leicester have," admitted Dallaglio. "That's something we've got to sort out. We haven't got the buying power or strength in depth that they have."

He continued: "We don't own a stadium or have 17,000 people coming to watch us. But what we do have in our team is soul.

"That's what we've always had and that's why we've stood toe to toe with them in the professional era.

"We need to go away and address the issues off the field and make sure we don't fail because of our lack of ability to compete at that level.

"We need to sort ourselves out and move forward. We need to compete with the likes of Leicester, Harlequins and Northampton who have great facilities."
