		London Wasps were crowned Zurich Premiership champions for the second year in succession after a thrilling end of season showdown against Bath at Twickenham.
		Wasps, also newly crowned Heineken Cup champions after defeating Toulouse a week ago at England rugby's HQ, completed the domestic and European double thanks to a 64th minute Stuart Abbott try leaving Bath, who finished top of the league table by one point, still without any silverware in eight years.
		Wasps were also denied two tries - the first after World Cup winner Joe Worsley sent a forward pass to a charging Fraser Waters and the second when Worsley was penalised for knocking on after setting scrum-half Rob Howley free.

		London Irish's nine match-winning sequence came to an abrupt end at Madejski stadium last Saturday afternoon when the Exiles lost to London Wasps by 16 points in the Guinness Premiership.
		The Wasps backs were quick to show the threat they posed and Irish were fortunate when a four man overlap on the left literally threw away the chance of an opening score.
		Given that Irish and Wasps were paying their second games in four and five days respectively it was inevitable that the half-time interval was the cue for the start of a series of replacements through the second period.

		Wasps' defeat, the first at home since January of last year, means that they must now travel to face Gloucester's bright young things needing to win to be in the Premiership semi-finals.
		Wasps regained the kick-off as Irish had done in the first half, recycled the ball, pushed it down the line where the sheer numbers meant that Voyce was unlikely to have anything other than an overlap in front of him.
		Wasps showed the extra physicality that we had all expected to see before the match, one tackle by Josh Lewsey flipped Olivier Magne over as though he were so much crêpe.

		Right from the kick-off the Falcons were in Wasps’ faces as Cory Harris hared after the catcher and forced an early turnover as both sides struggled to hold on to the ball in the tackle and at the base of the ruck in the deep surface water as the rain lashed down.
		Wasps, however, got back in to the game through right wing Sackey after England fullback Mark Van Gisbergen created a two-on-one and fed in the former London Irish man for a well-crafted score playing advantage from an earlier Falcons knock-on.
		A string of punishing rolling mauls tested the Wasps rearguard, and having got away with pulling the maul down on a number of occasions, referee David Rose’s patience finally snapped with the clock down to less than 30 seconds, as he eventually blew for a penalty.
