Irish do well and clear the danger winning a scrum as Gloucester knock-on.

Gloucester go through the phases and decide to pin back Irish with a very clever kick. 5 meter lineout for Irish defending their line.

Gloucester win the penalty from the second scrum which Hook pumps down the line.

Good pace by both teams in the opening encounters. Both teams opting to run instead of kicking but big defence by the Irish means they have the scrum in the middle of the park.

A minutes applause before kick-off for Phil Hughes and Irish rugby legend Jack Kyle. James Hook gets us underway.

Good conditions here at the Madejski for running rugby with both teams taking to the pitch.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Aviva Premiership. Today London Irish take on Gloucester at the Madejski with both teams eager to get out of the bottom 4. London Irish have been on a terrible run of form losing their last 4 games in a row and are in need of the points today. Gloucester are in the same boat losing the last 2 with a poor performance against Newcastle last week. Stay with us for kick-off here at the Madejski stadium.
