Former champions Leinster sealed top spot in Pool Two and a place in the European Champions Cup quarter-finals despite letting slip a commanding half-time lead to draw 20-20 at Wasps on Saturday.
Converted tries by winger Fergus McFadden and scrumhalf Isaac Boss put Leinster 20-6 ahead at the break, but Wasps then came alive and Matt Mullan went over after 61 minutes, with Andy Goode converting from the left touchline.
Wasps’ No. 8 Nathan Hughes then dived over the maul to touch down and Goode’s trusty boot leveled the score with 10 minutes remaining at the Ricoh Arena.

Ian Madigan missed a late penalty for Leinster while Goode had a chance with a last-gasp drop goal.
A draw was enough for Leinster to book a last-eight place and leave Wasps sweating on being one of the three best runners-up having edged out Harlequins to second spot in the group.
Harlequins crushed Castres 47-19.
In Pool Three, reigning champions Toulon ensured they will be at home in the quarter-finals after a 26-3 triumph against Scarlets, while Leicester Tigers’ hopes of squeezing into the last eight were ended by a 26-7 defeat in Ulster.
Northampton Saints were destroyed 32-8 at home by Racing Metro in Pool Five, although both sides had already ensured their places in the quarter-finals.
Racing Metro topped the table on 24 points, with Northampton on 19, enough to take one of the three best runners-up berths.
