Twitter was in disbelief as Wasps tore apart Leinster’s Champions Cup campaign

A dreadful start.

Leinster's Champions Cup campaign is on life support this evening after they were comprehensively beaten, 33-6, by Wasps at the RDS. The hosts led 6-3 in the early going, but a mistake by Dave Kearney allowed winger Christian Wade slip in for Wasps' first try and the visitors took a 16-6 lead into the break. Leinster lost forwards Richardt Strauss, Sean O'Brien and Mike McCarthy to apparent head injuries and the hits kept coming after the break as Wasps stretched ahead with further tries for Joe Simpson and man-of-the-match Charles Piutau. Leo Cullen has a huge job on his hands now, with victory at The Rec against Bath next week a must to ensure Leinster go into the back-to-back games against Toulon next month with realistic hopes. Twitter could not believe the meek nature of Leinster's display: https://twitter.com/andymcgeady/status/665898214088974336 https://twitter.com/RuaidhriOC/status/665898011231444992 https://twitter.com/kjbohan/status/665909158911336448 https://twitter.com/RonanJQuinn/status/665907789676617730 https://twitter.com/paulwally3/status/665904113444634625 https://twitter.com/jimbaaab/status/665902756545355781 https://twitter.com/Dan_ONeill/status/665909368878202880 https://twitter.com/mufc_dan87/status/665909106771906561 Although maybe there was another plan at work... https://twitter.com/BarryMcGonigle_/status/665906601161814016 Meanwhile, Ulster fans were left drooling by the performance of All Black back Piutau, who is set to join the province next season. https://twitter.com/thepaulwilliams/status/665903837191012356 https://twitter.com/chewit01/status/665904294504321024 https://twitter.com/McCormick_Dave/status/665897428932034560 Yet there were a couple of spoilsports fearing that the New Zealander might be enticed to remain at Wasps beyond his scheduled one year. https://twitter.com/gerard_meagher/status/665904253148520448 https://twitter.com/JackPitt94/status/665897406135975936
