Rob Kearney and Mike Ross both added to Leinster's score shortly after the re-start, before Isa Nacewa added the team's fifth try of the game with just over 10 minutes to play.

Tom Varndell scored two consolation tries for Wasps towards the end of the second half, but it was not enough to prevent the club's exit from the competition.
