Exiles sting Wasps in thriller to guarantee play-off place

LONDON IRISH held their nerve to win a sensational game of 14 tries, guaranteeing a place in the end-of-season play-offs and destroying Wasps’ 16-month unbeaten home league record.

The three-time Premiership champions had not been beaten at the Causeway Stadium since Bath defeated them in January 2005.

But that record is in tatters after the Exiles ran in nine tries in a pulsating match that was littered with errors but full of brilliant counter-attacking from both sides.
