London Irish

Wasps v London Irish - Mike Catt

Wasps 37-56 London Irish

London Irish loosened Wasps' grip on their Premiership crown by thrashing them in an exciting game that lifted them to third place in the table and has guaranteed a place for them in the play-offs for the first time in their history.

"The best performance that I've had anything to do with in rugby". That was the judgement of London Irish's director of rugby, Brian Smith, after Sunday evening's extraordinary nine-try win against the reigning English champions, Wasps.

The win, Irish's first at the Causeway, ended an eight-match winning streak Wasps had enjoyed over the Exiles. More importantly, it lifted Irish to third place in the table and has guaranteed a place for them in the play-offs for the first time in their history.
