Andrew frustrated as Exiles win

Rob Andrew criticised his Newcastle side for failing to kill off London Irish and questioned refereeing standards after his team’s 21-16 Zurich Premiership defeat today.

He described referee Steve Lander’s award of an injury-time penalty before Irish’s winning try as “a big decision” and highlighted the failure to spot a knock-on by Irish scrum-half Paul Hodgson in the build-up to their opening try.
