Cipriani inspires Wasps victory

Danny Cipriani may not have done enough yet to force himself back into the England side but 21 points from his boot helped Wasps to another Guinness Premiership victory - a 36-29 win over Leicester at Adams Park.

The defending champions, way down in 10th place in the table going into the game, move up only one spot with their win.

But Leicester, the side they beat in last season's final, stay sixth and on this at-times bad-tempered display could well miss out on the play-offs as well. It was their fourth successive defeat to Wasps.

Cipriani landed five penalties and converted all the tries from flanker and captain Serge Betsen, wing Chris Bishay and number eight John Hart.

Leicester's four tries, which meant they went away with two bonus points, came from full-back Scott Hamilton, stand-off Sam Vesty, number eight Jordan Crane and replacement Johne Murphy, with scrum-half Julien Dupuy adding two conversions and a penalty and Vesty one conversion.
