Newcastle Falcons suffered a second defeat of the Gallagher Premiership season on Sunday when they fell to London Irish at Brentford Community Stadium.

 Trailing 14-8 at the break and failing to rein in their hosts during the second 40, they mounted a late comeback but had a losing bonus point snatched from their grasp by a 78th minute try from replacement hooker Motu Matu’u.
