Northampton have Wasps on the backfoot from the off with Sean Lamont breaking dangerously through their midfield
The ball finds its way out to Bruce Reihana who scores a try and then converts it to make it 7-0 after four minutes
Ill discipline by the London side sees Reihana add another six points to the score as Saints enjoy a dream start
Fears that ticket prices may have been too high seem to have been realised with many Ricoh Arena seats remaining empty
Mark van Gisbergen's penalty and Paul Sackey's try reduce the defecit but Wasps still trail by five points at half-time
James Haskell replaces Lawrence Dallaglio on the hour and scores immediately to give his side the lead for the first time
Nine minutes later Sackey gets on the scoresheet again as Northampton's challenge starts to run out of steam
Josh Lewsey, another replacement, scores a further try with three minutes remaining as Wasps complete a 30-13 victory
