Wasps given Dallaglio motivation

Wasps want to make it into the Premiership play-offs for Dallaglio

Wasps want to make the play-offs to give England and club legend Lawrence Dallaglio the send-off he deserves when he retires at the end of the season.

After Wasps beat Newcastle 32-13, Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan told BBC London: "It's the end of an era.

"He's done so much for the club and we'd like to keep winning because of that. We also know there will be a few sides that want to spoil the party.

"If we don't put in the hard work the wins won't come."

Wasps will travel to relegated Leeds for their final match on Saturday at Headingley, needing a win - and probably a bonus point - to have a chance of clinching a home play-off semi-final.

McGeechan spent all his playing career at Leeds and is looking forward to returning to the club.

"I was a one-club man so I can show them the sights of Leeds when we get there," he added.

"But I think we'll have our heads on, we've got a job to do and we've got to be right. We had a tough game against Leeds first up and they're pretty competitive.

"Nobody gives you an easy victory in this league and you've got to work for what you get."
