Dai Young believes Joe Simpson is ready to lead England's new attacking wave after masterminding Wasps' four-try victory over Toulon.

Wasps battered Toulon 32-6 at the Ricoh Arena to complete the English clubs' first European clean sweep since 2008.

Nathan Hughes' brace and further scores from Ruaridh Jackson and Frank Halai stunned reigning European Champions Cup winners Toulon in Coventry.

Simpson orchestrated Wasps' high-tempo play, leading Young to reveal hopes the scrum-half can force his way into new England boss Eddie Jones' Test plans.

"I don't see many nines better than Joe out there," said Young of Simpson, overlooked for England's disastrous Rugby World Cup campaign.

"Joe would certainly have come into the reckoning after the World Cup even if Stuart Lancaster had stayed with England.

"His kicking game is up there with the best, and in broken play I think he's the best nine.

"Something England kept talking to him about was the game management, making the right decisions, but I think he's more than mastered that.

"He's shown how accomplished he is as a nine and a decision-maker.

"But the biggest thing for Joe has been bringing in Dan Robson, because having quality players fighting for that starting shirt, it certainly focuses everybody's minds.

"That's helped kick Joe to another level as well.

"I think everyone realises the slate's wiped clean (after the World Cup)."

Every English side in Champions Cup action claimed a victory in the tournament's second round, and Wasps boss Young praised the standard of the Aviva Premiership.

"I just think the English teams are pretty good sides," said Young, after Wasps backed up their impressive 33-6 win at Leinster.

"It would be nice if we get a number of teams through to the quarter-finals really.

"I know things didn't go well at the World Cup but it's still a young team and still lots of talent in England.

"And I'm sure things will improve rapidly."
