Premiership Rugby Cup: London Irish 30-18 Northampton Saints - Exiles reach second straight final
London Irish saw off Northampton 30-18 to reach the Premiership Rugby Cup final for the second season running.
Irish will be aiming to go one better in a home final on 19 March, against the winners of Sunday's semi-final between Exeter and Sale . Having been outdone in the opening 15 minutes, the Exiles worked their way back into the game, with marauding back rower So'otalo Fa'aso'o causing havoc, and Jennings' shot at goal made it 10-5.
Irish quickly opened up a two-score lead after the restart when Basham slammed over from close-range. "It's brilliant - I can't wait. It's St Patrick's Day weekend, it's going to be a great atmosphere and it'll be a great way to finish off the weekend.""I thought they were strong all over really. We couldn't get a foothold in the game and ultimately the best team won.
