London Wasps will have to meet fire with fire at Bath says Dai Young

Dai YoungLondon head coach reckons his side will have to meet fire with fire if they want to comeback from the Rec with a win.
scrapped past to claim an unconvincing 24-23 win thanks to the boot of Olly Barkley.
Dai Young said: “Bath are hugely physical around the breakdown area and we will have to meet fire with fire.
“We showed last week we can play some attacking but we will have to roll our sleeves up and earn the right to do so at The Rec.
“They will be confident on the back of their win and they will be a complete different challenge for us. They will test another aspect of our game.
“We don’t want to take a step back and another good performance will be crucial for us.”
Wasps played superbly for 55 minutes to take a 40-13 lead but conceded four tries in nine minutes to see the champions claimed the biggest comeback in Premiership history and win 42-40.
Despite the good performance, Young revealed it was tough to get the players going again
He added: “It was tough to get my message across to the players this week.
“In one hand we have to be disappointed to have lost a game with such a big lead but in the other hand, it was the best 55 minutes of rugby Wasps have played over the last two or three seasons so there a lot of positivity to take from the game.
“It’s not like we didn’t want to close the game out but we were just unable to do it. The momentum was all with Quins and we couldn’t get our hand on the ball.
“I never felt comfortable during the game. I always thought we had to concentrate for 80 minutes to close the game out but we didn’t.”
