Missing 10 of their star players through injury or non-selection, London Wasps, led by skipper Lawrence Dallaglio coasted to victory against L'Aquila in Pool 2 of the Heineken Cup at Loftus Road.

Centre Fraser Waters open the scoring after five minutes, pouncing on a loose ball centimetres from the line to score. Winger Kenny Logan added the extra points and did not waste a chance all afternoon, being successful with all six conversions.

Four minutes later fly-half Andrea Masi missed a chance for the Italians, sending his close-range penalty kick left of the uprights.

Wasps extended their lead in the 28th minute. Centre Mark Denney finished off a surge by the home pack.

Wasps' defence was taken by surprise in the 32nd minute when winger Pierpaolo Rotilio sneaked through on the right to earn the Italians five much-needed points.

It was short-lived revival, as six minutes later Waters sneaked through the centre to score.

At half-time Wasps led 21-5, and they stretched their advantage in the 50th minute, full-back Alex King sprinting down the right to score.

A dramatic run through the centre by Logan in the 68th minute secured Wasps' victory.

Continuing to pile on the pressure, Dallaglio led the pack in the 76th minute to score his side's sixth try.

London Wasps director of rugby Nigel Melville criticised the Rugby Football Union for the way it ordered three of his players to fly to Argentina for the World Sevens.

Melville, whose club were without 10 top players on Sunday, said the RFU have assured him it will not happen again.

Sponsors had booked the three players - Joe Worsley, Josh Lewsey and Paul Sampson - on a flight on Sunday.

"We were told on Wednesday three of our players were going on Sunday," said Melville. "They wanted to make use of tickets supplied by sponsors.

"It was the way it was done that I objected to. I think it's disgusting that they are not available for the supporters to come and see them.

"I've spoke to the RFU and I'm assured it won't happen again."
