WASPS director of rugby Ian McGeechan said Wasps unleashed their best rugby of the season to destroy Saracens at Adams Park on Saturday.
They scored three tries in five minutes just before end of the match to storm back from 19-7 down into a 33-17 lead.
McGeechan said: “I thought the first half was probably the best we’ve played this year.
“I was disappointed and a little bit concerned that we didn’t have the points on the board that we should’ve had, because we know Sarries are a good side and you can see the quality that they’ve got.
“So it was always going to be nip and tuck, but I thought the last ten or 15 minutes was up a level.
“The pace was back in the game in those last 15 minutes we looked the part again.”
Wasps had actually started the match well, but failed to turn their pressure into tries and needed a late Danny Cipriani penalty to go to the break 9-6 up.
McGeechan said: “The tempo of the game makes a big difference to us. I thought the first half we kept the pace in it, but they dictated field position and pace in that 20 minutes after half time. We didn’t really get out of our half particularly well. We couldn’t control it as we would have wanted, and they did.
“But in the last 15 minutes the tempo was back in our game and it makes a difference to us when we can get like that.”
