Welcome to the Premiership encounter between the London Irish vs the Newcastle Falcons at the Brentford Community Stadium. The Irish comes into the game with much needed confidence after securing a draw away to Harlequins last weekend, while the Falcons secured a home victory against Gloucester. The Falcons are currently 4th on the log, a win today could see them move into 3rd place, and the Irish sits in 9th, with a win for them guaranteeing them a spot in the top 6. A great 80 minutes of rugby awaits us, stay tuned for the live updates of the encounter.
