Wasps won 52-44 away to Bath on Friday in a remarkable English Premiership encounter featuring 11 tries as they recorded a fifth successive victory in all competitions.
At a time when many pundits have been expressing fears that defence-dominated game risk rugby union s future as a professional sport, Wasps ran in seven tries at Bath s Recreation Ground.
This win saw Wasps, last season s losing finalists, follow up last week s win over reigning Premiership champions Exeter in spectacular style.
Wasps wing Paolo Odogwu and hooker Tom Cruse scored two tries apiece, while flanker Brad Shields and wing Josh Bassett also crossed.
