Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this first leg fixture of the Championship Final! Only two games remain before either Yorkshire Carnegie or London Irish are promoted to the top-flight of English rugby, the Aviva Premiership. This evening, it's 1st v 2nd in the Championship table at Headingley. Visitors London Irish will be full of confidence going into this encounter, having been clear table leaders at the end of the regular season, and comfortably dispatching a valiant Doncaster side last weekend. Their opponents, Yorkshire, have had a trickier route to the final, and experienced a late scare in losing to Ealing Trailfinders last weekend, only to go through on a superior points difference. They will certainly be looking to make amends and post a significant score this evening. We're under 15 minutes from kick-off here. Stay tuned for live updates!

Why is it on a Wednesday?
