Result: London Irish 46-29 Newcastle Falcons

London Irish have picked up their second win of their Aviva Premiership campaign, beating Newcastle Falcons at the Madejski Stadium.

Falcons fly-half Jimmy Gopperth and Exiles fullback Tom Homer exchanged four first-half penalties, as Topsy Ojo's try proved the only difference between the two teams at the half.

The pair began the second half by again scoring a penalty each, before Homer added a second and then converted Jonathan Joseph's try on the hour mark to pull away. Homer then converted both a penalty try and a second from Joseph.

Newcastle's Daz Fearn and Jamie Helleur's tries proved too little, too late and extends the visitors' winless run to four games.
