 Wasps centre Flutey wriggles through but the Londoners were shut out

Wasps crashed out of the Heineken Cup after losing to Castres in France.
The Londoners needed to secure a bonus-point win against the pool two bottom side to have any hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals.
The two-time champions were unable to top the group after Leinster beat Edinburgh 12-3.
Wasps, who trailed 14-10 at half-time, ended second in the pool but with insufficient points to secure one of the two best runner-up spots.
Their loss, heralding the second straight season they have failed to progress in the competition, meant that Welsh region Ospreys qualified as one of the best-placed runners-up, despite losing to Leicester on Saturday.
Both Toulouse and Bath - whose final match would have been winner-goes-through if Wasps had won - were also guaranteed a last-eight berth.
Castres: Bouquie, Bonnefond, Kefu, Mazars, Carballo, Teulet, Tillous-Borde; Hoeft, Giorgadze, Ducalcon, Nallet, Capo Ortega, Malonga, Masoem Tekori.
Replacements: Terrain, Staibano, Kulemin, Faure, Senio, Lagardere, Sanchou.
Wasps: Van Gisbergen, Sackey, Waldouck, Flutey, Lewsey, Cipriani, Reddan; Payne, Webber, Vickery, Shaw, Birkett, Worsley, Betsen, Haskell.
Replacements: Ward, French, Skivington, Leo, Simpson, Walder, Voyce.
