Wasps defeated by Bristol new boy

Bristol owe latest Argentinian signing, fly half Felipe Contepomi, a huge debt after he scored all their points in a dramatic 22-17 victory over Wasps.

Contepomi had just scored a brilliant interception try with three minutes of normal time remaining and had then added a drop goal, to add to his four penalties and one conversion in completing rugby's full house of scoring methods.

But Kenny Logan's fourth penalty in the second minute of injury time dragged Wasps to within five points and had Rob Henderson not been hauled up a metre short, Wasps would have kept alive hopes of becoming only the third club after Leicester and Bath to claim a hat-trick of Cup wins. Bristol coach Dean Ryan said: 'We are building character in this side. We are on the up and we have to take this confidence up to Newcastle, which is a difficult place for visiting teams to win, in the next round.
