Full Time: London Irish 15-33 Wasps

  • Welcome to Twickenham Stadium for live coverage of this afternoon's Aviva Premiership clash between London Irish and Wasps - the second part of the London Double header.
  • The first game has proved a major mis-match as Saracens currently lead Worcester 48-11 with less than 10 minutes remaining.
  • London Irish have slipped to the foot of the Premiership table after Newcastle earned a draw at Sale earlier, and they will be hunting for their first points under head coach Tom Coventry.
  • World Cup winner Ben Franks makes his debut for Exiles in the front row, while Matt Symons captains the side in the absence of George Skivington.
  • Teenage centre Johnny Williams retains his place following two tries in as many European Challenge cup games.
  • Wasps come into the contest on the back of two stunning wins against Leinster and Toulon in the European Cup, and are arguably the form team in Europe.
  • They are led by James Haskell and also include hugely promising No. 8 Nathan Hughes, along with New Zealand duo Frank Halai and Charles Piutau.
  • London Irish: Ojo; Lewington, Tikoirotuma, Williams, Fowlie; Noakes, Steele; Court, Paice, Franks, Sheriff, Symons (capt), Trayfoot, Cowan, Treviranus.
  • Replacements: Ellis, Smallbone, Halavatau, Sinclair, Narraway, Allinson, Brophy-Clews, Mulchrone.
  • Wasps: Piutau; Tagicakibau, Daly, Jacobs, Halai; Jackson, Simpson; Mullan, Johnson, Cooper-Woolley, Gaskell, Myall, Haskell (capt), Young, Hughes.
  • Replacements: Shervington, McIntyre, Cittadini, Davies, Jones, Robson, Gopperth, Macken.
