Wasps moved top of pool one in the Heineken Cup with a devastating 71-5 victory over Treviso at Stadio Comunale di Monigo. The Londoners ran in 11 tries against the Italian champions, including a hat-trick for wing Paul Sackey to secure maximum points from the tie and take Wasps a point clear of Perpignan in the pool. Alex King, Lawrence Dallaglio, Eoin Reddan, James Haskell, Daniel Cipriani, Nick Adams and Mark van Gisbergen, who added eight conversions, also went over during a comfortable afternoon for Wasps.

It took less than two minutes for Wasps to continue where they left off against the Italians, who were forced into a late reshuffle following injuries, as King went over for the opening try. Van Gisbergen converted for an early 7-0 lead.

However, Treviso gave their home support some encouragement when they hit back just two minutes later through wing Massimiliano Perziano who went over after Gabriel Pizarro and Marius Goosen combined effectively in midfield. Goosen missed the conversion and that was to prove the only points of the game for Treviso as Wasps ran riot, despite the loss of prop Tim Payne to the sin bin on 13 minutes.

Sackey went over three times before half time to secure the bonus point. The first followed a break by Dominic Waldouck, the second after Reddan's burst and the third was a solo effort from inside his own half.

Dallaglio completed his return to the side with his side's fifth just before half time to give Wasps a commanding 33-5 lead at the break after they survived a late surge by Treviso on their own goalline.

The second half produced more of the same as Wasps enjoyed themselves in the sunshine of Italy. Reddan caught his opposite number sleeping when he rounded from the back of a scrum to score four minutes into the second half. Josh Lewsey went over for his team's seventh just minutes later, following a break by Van Gisbergen, who added the conversion and then crossed for his first try on 55 minutes to take Wasps past the half-century mark.

Replacement flanker Haskell joined in the scoring spree with a try on 67 minutes. Fellow substitute Cipriani finished off some impressive recycling play by his forwards before prop Adams completed the scoring in the final minute following an unstoppable line-out drive by the Wasps pack.

In France, Ronan McCormack's try from a line-out and drive at the death put the seal on a fine win for Leinster over Agen. They fought out a 25-13 win, with Jamie Heaslip and Denis Hickie also crossing for the visitors, who move to the top of Pool 2.
