Lyon Up Next

Wasps earned the right to travel to  Lyon for the semi-final of the European Challenge Cup courtesy of a thrilling 34-30 win in Edinburgh - the French side overcoming Glasgow 35-27.

Alfie Barbeary was the ultimate hero as Wasps battled it out against an Edinburgh side backed by a passionate support. His side were trailing 30-27 as the game entered its final minutes.

A line-out gave the forwards a last chance but the home pack were up for it and initially it all went backwards. A splinter group forced its way gto the line it was Barbeary who picked up to score the winner.

It was an entertaining game, for the neutral at least, as Ben Vellacott and Adam McBurney gave Edinburgh a 17-10 half-time lead with Jimmy Gopperth and Biyi Alo crossing for Wasps.

Tom West's try (above) finally got Wasps into the lead only for  Edinburgh No. 8 Magnus Bradbury to get his side back in front with Bofelli notching three pens to Gopperth's two.

The result was a massive relief after last week's fightback from Irish with the Challenge Cup final in Marseille at the end of the month now the only target. Lyon will be tough with the winner facing either Sarries, who hammered Gloucester on Friday night, or Toulon or Irish who meet in France.
