Great break by London Irish with Andrew Fenby involved again. The fullback nearly goes over for the second try of the game, but he is held up over the line. Scrum to Irish on Grenoble's 5 metre line.

TRY! Perfect start for London Irish. The home side work well from the word go, with Alex Lewington going over for the try after a flip pass by Fenby. Geraghty fails to add the extras for his team.
