In a reversal of common belief London Irish recently started to put together a string of wins and edge their way up the table into the crowded mid-field where a few points separate 7 teams.

Expectations were altered by a home, narrow loss to Leicester dropping Irish back to 7th and making the trip to Newcastle more meaningful.
