The English club scored five tries to pick up a bonus-point win last Friday, despite fielding a starting line-up featuring several inexperienced players, and Blackett was delighted to maintain his side’s perfect start to this season’s tournament.

“I think when you get to this stage, it’s all about results isn’t it - to get two maximum points, especially with a young side out there as well,” he told Wasps’ website.

“The pleasing thing for us, I felt, was that our energy, our speed was up. I feel like probably the first couple of weeks it’s been off. There was an improvement last week definitely and I think I’ve seen a bigger improvement this week.”

Will Porter, 22, Alfie Barbeary, 20 and Charlie Atkinson,19, all started the match on Friday night and Blackett was keen to praise their performances.

“I’m really pleased with the young half-backs especially and I think Alfie will get a lot of plaudits too,” he said. “I think he played well. To have a young eight, a young nine and a young 10, I’m really pleased.

“Obviously, that was Charlie Atkinson’s first 80 minutes as well that he’s ever played in his life, so he’s ticked that one off.

“There are a load of other individuals I could mention, but it’s great to see those three young academy guys coming through and doing really well.”

However, Blackett admitted there was still room for improvement heading into their Round 3 game at Montpellier on January 16, although he was largely satisfied with his side’s dominant display.

“I thought our intent throughout was really pleasing,” he added. “I still think we’re a little bit off. I still think we can be a fraction more clinical and take our opportunities, but it was really pleasing to get the four-try bonus point.”

Wasps head coach Lee Blackett was full of praise for his younger players following his side’s 33-14 home victory over Montpellier in the second round of the Heineken Champions Cup.
