Wasps edge thrilling cup tie
Related Articles
11 January 2007
Wasps trailed 13-3, and then 23-13, but the Londoners twice wiped out those ominous deficits.
Young England hopeful Danny Cipriani guided them home, kicking 14 points and often looking the coolest customer on view during a red-hot clash between two mighty teams.
Centre Riki Flutey and lock George Skivington scored tries in each half for Wasps, denying a Munster side desperate to become top dogs in Europe once again.
Cipriani's opposite number Ronan O'Gara put his World Cup woes behind him in front of a 21,500 crowd in Coventry to deliver an assured tactical display.
But his 13-point haul - including conversions of first-half touchdowns from centre Rua Tipoki and full-back Shaun Payne - was not enough to buckle Wasps' resistance.
