- Wasps win 33-14 after Henry Immelman is sent off
- Toulon refuse to take field after Scarlets player tests positive
Montpellier have one of the biggest packs in European club rugby but their combined might was nothing compared with the 20-year-old No 8 Alfie Barbeary, who six months after joining Wasps’ senior squad scored two tries and played a pivotal role in another two.
Wasps, who were below strength, struggled to contain Montpellier who played 74 minutes of the Champions Cup tie with 14 men, but with Will Porter proving a wily deputy for Dan Robson, they had enough wit to exploit their better moments with the power and deft touches of Barbeary, who was called into the England squad last month, proving the difference.
