The Guinness Premiership champions dominated the second half and appeared to have snatched victory when Gloucester-bound winger Tom Voyce crossed with three minutes to go.

But Leonelli struck as the match entered injury time to effectively end Wasps' chances of finishing in the play-offs.

More worryingly for Ian McGeechan's side, they must produce a spectacular late run in their last four remaining games to book their place in next season's European Cup.

England fly-half Danny Cipriani missed three of his six shots at goal in an otherwise lively display but opposite number Glen Jackson was virtually flawless in finishing with 14 points.

In Sunday's other clash, Bristol gave themselves a lifeline for at least another week as they prolonged their stay in English rugby's top flight with a 37-18 victory over Worcester.

Defeat for the west country club would have condemned them to relegation three games inside the distance after a miserable season.

But they conjured up an unlikely bonus point victory against the 11th-placed Warriors, recording only their second Premiership success of the campaign.

Bristol could go down next Saturday if they lose against title play-off contenders London Irish at the Madejski Stadium, yet they can take great heart from a display that bristled with confidence.

They had a few nervous moments after seeing a 17-0 lead clawed back to just two points, but then finished strongly against a woefully out-of-sorts Worcester side.
