The ball was recycled and fed to a gang of Wasps forwards who drove Ward over from five metres out, with Walder adding the conversion and another penalty to extend the lead to 16-3. England centre Riki Flutey, who has been out since October with a calf injury, was brought on for the final quarter and his first task was to help defend against a superb break by Brew. The Wales winger burst through Wasps' defence but his pass to his support runners was poor and Lemi was able to intercept.

8 Andy Powell to a thigh injury shortly before kick-off, had made 35 tackles after only 11 minutes. With the early storm weathered, Wasps broke from their half through centre Ben Jacobs but Toby Faletau was on hand to gather the ensuing chip ahead. Winger Varndell showed fine footwork but the Aviva Premiership club generally looked lethargic in a match desperately needing a moment of inspiration from either side.
It was almost provided by scrum-half Joe Simpson who dashed clear and chipped ahead when swamped by defenders, but once again Faletau was on hand to intervene. A quick tap and go by Simpson earnt Wasps another 10 yards but Dave Walder missed the ensuing penalty before making amends shortly after to level the score at half time. The home side crept ahead for the first time through a second Walder penalty a minute after the interval and the fly-half then had a hand in the game's first try. Spotting the gap, Walder glided behind the first line of defence before firing a long pass to David Lemi who was stopped just short of the left corner.

However, Wasps cut loose in the second period, with Joe Ward, Mark van Gisbergen, Tom Varndell and Nic Berry all crossing as the hosts earned themselves a valuable bonus point. The Dragons managed a late try through Aled Brew but that score offered scant consolation for Paul Turner's men. A crowd of only 1, 236 attended a match that was under threat until 10. 15am this morning when the required medical support was secured after Bucks County had stated they would be unable to supply a paramedic team due to their need to service the local area. However, the treacherous conditions around Causeway Stadium failed to deter Wasps, who were able to stage the encounter thanks to the under-soil heating. Melting snow made the ball slippery, taking its toll on a contest that was short on highlights until the floodgates opened in the second half. A bonus-point win had looked highly unlikely during a first half controlled by the Dragons, who took the lead with a penalty from fly-half Matthew Jones. Wasps, who lost Wales No.
