Two late tries revive dead and buried exiles

Newcastle Falcons 16 London Irish17

The Falcons seemed to have this sixth-round tie under control, but lost their way in the closing quarter as the Exiles dominated possession and scored twice through Neal Hatley and Simon Halford.

Halford's try left Mark Mapletoft with a 35-metre conversion to win the game and the substitute fly-half, on for Barry Everitt, who had missed four kicks at goal, booted the winning score.
