| | Leeds 41 - 16 London Irish |
 | | London Irish self-destructed in a flurry of basic errors and a rash of ill-discipline and were duly punished by the boot of Braam van Straaten. |
 | | Even the basics were often absent: their lineout was rusty, and the scrum creaked at key moments, most blatantly in a superb attacking position deep in the Leeds 22 with 12 minutes remaining and the score at 28-16. |
 | | London Irish: Horak; Sackey, Bishop, Appleford, Rossouw; Everitt, Edwards (Barrett, 65); Worsley (Hatley, 47), Kirke (Flavin, 45), Hardwick (Halford, 45-65), Strudwick (capt), Casey, Cockle (Gustard, 56), Dawson, Danaher. |
