London Irish unlikely to do Wasps any seasonal favours

LONDON IRISH are promising a bumper New Year’s Eve crowd the chance to kick off their celebrations early against Wasps at the Madejski today.

And Wasps are not expecting any kind of seasonal hospitality as they take on a side Ian McGeechan rates as the hottest in the Guinness Premiership.

London Irish have risen to third place in the table. They have suffered one defeat in their last 10 games and are unbeaten at home since October.
