Wasps scored five tries as they romped to a 34-17 bonus-point victory in the Aviva Premiership at the Ricoh Arena Sunday.
The hosts were dominant in the opening 40 with two Ashley Johnson tries, along with Danny Cipriani going over and the boot of Jimmy Gopperth giving them a 22-3 at half-time.
Bryn Evans’ early second-half try saw the deficit reduced to 12 points.
But two quick Miller tries proved vital in securing Wasps a sixth successive home win, despite Evans and Mike Haley going over for the Sharks. It wasn’t enough for the bonus point though, as Wasps recorded a 34-24 win.
