Wasps boosted their hopes of a top-two Premiership finish with a bonus-point win over struggling Newcastle. <br /> <br />After Mike Delany and Jimmy Gopperth traded penalties, tries from George Smith and Dan Robson put Wasps 15-3 up, but Taione Vea hit back on half-time. <br /> <br />Robson's second score and a try from Thomas Young moments later put the visitors in control after the break. <br /> <br />George McGuigan crossed to bring the Falcons to within seven points but Young's second try secured victory. <br /> <br />Wasps move one point behind second-placed Exeter, having denied Newcastle a losing bonus-point at the death. <br /> <br />Following a scrappy opening period, the visitors took control through Australia international Smith's first Premiership try and Robson's opportunistic finish. <br /> <br />Two tries in three minutes midway through the second half looked to have put Wasps out of sight at 27-13 but McGuigan powered over to give Newcastle hope. <br /> <br />Andy Goode came on with 10 minutes remaining for his final Falcons appearance before his retirement but the former England fly-half was unable to inspire a comeback. <br />Subscribe and never miss the action: http://YOUTUBE/RUGBYWORLDS/
