Match Reaction
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young on Willie Le Roux’s error when he lost control of the ball while diving over the whitewash: “Willie, obviously, it’s going to be well documented… If he had put that ball down, we could have been 10-8 up. We would have been pretty pleased with that, because we were under pressure,” Young said.
“I think it may have calmed us down a little bit, but I know a lot of people will point to that as a turning factor. It certainly didn’t help us, but I’m not saying it was a turning factor because we had 55 minutes to play. We had plenty of time to turn that around.”
Leinster head coach Leo Cullen on the influence of 21-year-old full-back Joey Carbery: “Joey is very, very brave. He’s not afraid to try things. We will have a look back at the game and go through it with him. He’s hungry to learn and he wants to get better.
“I’m delighted for him today. It was a good performance. Twenty-one years of age… It has come very quickly, but he is definitely a talent.
“In the second half, it was just disappointing that we didn’t respect the ball well enough at times.
“You see Wade’s try, the way he finished it. They score again with Jimmy (Gopperth), and it’s an eight-point game. I thought we showed good composure post that, and played the game in the right area, came up with a couple of good scores.”
