Wasps 21-16 Bristol

MATCH SUMMARY

Wasps 21 (8)
Tries: Reece, Voyce
Con: King
Pens: King (3)

Bristol (13)
Try: Regan
Con: Strange
Pens: Strange (3)

Wasps hit back from a five point half-time deficit to defeat Bristol.

Mark Regan went over after 10 minutes to put the dominant visitors ahead, but Tom Rees surged past Jake Rauluni and David Lemi to score in the corner.

After the break Alex King kicked a second penalty, and Tom Voyce began a 70-metre run to the line, beating a host of players to put Wasps ahead.

King converted and though Jason Strange reduced the gap to two points after 64 minutes another King penalty sealed it.

Wasps coach Ian McGeechan:
"We have to learn to be patient. On Friday we were pretty disciplined in not trying to play in the wrong areas.

"We've learned the lessons from Edinburgh when we did the wrong things in the wrong parts of the field. Winning is a habit and you've got to graft for it."

Bristol coach Richard Hill:
"The players are very disappointed they haven't won the game.

"We've got a number of players who haven't played at this level and they were concerned about coming here, but they showed a lot of composure."
