Bayonne to bow out in style
London Wasps cannot be caught as group qualifiers, Bayonne seeing their hopes as good as disappear in their back-to-back contests with Dai Young's Premiership side.
A 13-13 draw at home was followed by a 30-16 defeat at Adams Park and that handed the incentive to Wasps.
Bayonne kicked off with a 71-7 romp at home to Rugby Mogliano and will be favourites to end the campaign with the double over the European newcomers when they go to Stadio Maurizio Quaggia.
Wing Marvin O'Connor got two of Bayonne's 11 tries with All Black star Joe Rokocoko also getting in on the try scoring act when he came on as a replacement.
