A last-minute try by Miles Normandale secured a remarkable 45-42 victory for Cardiff Blues as they recovered from behind to win a 12-try thriller against Wasps at theRicoh Arena.
Blues looked certain to take nothing from the LV= Cup game as Wasps seemed to be in complete control, but the home side took off some key players, allowing Cardiff back in the match.
If they can beat Leicester next weekend, they will secure a semi-final spot as winners of Pool Two and, despite their defeat, Wasps still have a chance of progressing from Pool Three but will have to rely on Blues beating Leicester even if they manage a win at Northampton
Wasps scored six tries through Thomas Young (two), Will Helu, Saliosi Tagicakibau, Guy Thompson and a penalty try award, with the impressive Alex Lozowski converting all six.
Normandale (two), Macauley Cook, Lewis Jones, Lucas Amorosino and Seb Davies were Blues' try-scorers with Rhys Patchell adding six conversions and a penalty.
Andrea Masi was included in the Wasps line-out before joining the Italian squad for the RBS 6 Nations while Glyn Hughes made his first start at outside half with flanker Ed Jackson captaining the side.
Cardiff selected Patchell at fly-half, with Argentinian internationals Joaquin Tuculet and Amorosino also in their back division.
