TRY IRISH. Try for Fergus Mulchrone. Scintillating break by Sailosi Tagicakibau, who unselfishly passes to his fellow centre a metre from the line.

Early pressure from the Italians. Going through the phases inside Irish 22.

And we are back up and running!

Half time at the Madejski and its the home side who lead by 27 points to 3. 4 tries in the opening 40 minutes says it all. Scores from Jimmy Stevens, Myles Dorrian, Andrew Fenby and Sailosi Tagicakibau have already earned Exiles the bonus point. Dorrian has added two conversions to his early penalty. Irish's fringe players are certainly taking it to the Italians tonight. The game has been played almost entirely in the Prato half. It is difficult to see how the Italian side have any hope of survival in the second but the optimist in me is telling me Prato will not throw in the towel just yet! Stay tuned for the second half!

TRY IRISH. Bonus-point try for Sailosi Tagicakibau. He had Tom Fowlie outside him, but from less then 10 metres out there was no stopping the Samoan international once he saw the gap. 27-3

Prato get their frist points on the board with a penalty kick from Toby Browne. 20-3

Finally we see a response from Prato! First real pressure from the visitors. They win a scrum five metres from Irish line.

TRY IRISH. Irish work ball well across the pitch from a lineout. Alex Lewington offloads into the hands of Andrew Fenby who crosses in the corner. Dorrian misses a difficult conversion attempt. 20-0

Sickening collision between Matte Falsaperla and a Prato team-mate. The winger seems to be ok thankfully.

TRY IRISH. Excellent individual try by London Irish fly-half Myles Dorrian. Broke through defence and ran in under posts from 30 metres out. A clever pass from Evans the instigator. Dorian converts his own try from in front of the sticks. 15-0
