Brian Smith proud of "brave" London Irish

London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith has praised his side's "brave" performance as they recorded their first win of the season against Bath on Saturday.

Steve Shingler kicked over 19 points at the Madejski Stadium to get the Exiles off the mark at the fourth attempt.

"I felt our team were very brave and gallant. We had to fight a lot of adversity," said Smith.

"It is a good win and I think we can get a lot of momentum from this. We have to keep our feet on the ground and line up Worcester for Friday night."

The win has seen Irish move one place out of the relegation zone and up to 11th in the Aviva Premiership table.
