Dreadful conditions here with both teams reluctant to play too much rugby. Looks like today will be a kicking battle.

Really positive start by Irish with some strong carries by Hala'ufia

Good afternoon and welcome to todays coverage at Kingston Park. Both sides enter todays proceedings holding 9 points lying joint 9th. London Irish will no doubt feel boosted with this weeks signing of James O'Connor however the Australian has not quite arrived in time for todays game. Just 10 minutes now till kick off.
