Scrum to Irish 10m from their own line

They secure and the ball is spun wide. Tiesi's pass to Tait is too far in front of the player and the ball is knocked on

He surely does - interesting Falcons opt for the corner

Geraghty penalised for a cynical offside and will surely see yellow for that offence

The ref pinns Steele for hands in the ruck and his opposite number takes it quickly. Irish on the backfoot as Powell races forward!

Irish steal the LO and look to press forward

A big clearing kick for Geraghty sees a LO to Falcons on the half way line

The young fly half has no issues in slotting that one. 14-3 the score as Falcons make their way on to the score board for the first time

Off the restart, Rouse is pinned for a ruck infringement and Falcons opt for the post. Catterick to step up to the mark

Steele scythes his way through the Newcastle defence to score another easy try under the posts. Geraghty successful once more off the tee. 14-0
