(Reuters) - Wasps snatched a thrilling 25-24 win over Exeter Chiefs thanks to Jimmy Gopperth's last-minute conversion to reach a European Champions Cup semi-final against Saracens who beat Northampton Saints 29-20 on Saturday.

Wasps' Charles Piutau powered over in the corner for his second try and Gopperth calmly converted to deny Exeter, who led 24-18 until the 79th minute after taking control with two first-half Thomas Waldrom tries, a place in their first semi-final.
