come on Irish! let get back in this!

Irish decide to go wide. Geraghty sends a chip across for Maitland to collect but the ball bounces awkwardly and into touch.

I would not want to be a Newcastle/Irish fan right now

Close to 20 phases from London Irish. Desperate defence from the Falcons.

Irish now on the attack keeping it tight meters from the Falcons line.

Line out Falcons just past their 10m.

Wayward pass and Maitland knocks on. Scrum Falcons.

Irish closing in on the Falcons line.

Great effort from Fenby as he carries from his 22 up to the Falcons 10m.

Great work at the breakdown from Paice and Irish win a penalty.
