Photo: Twitter @londonirishLondon Irish withstood another second half fightback in the Premiership Rugby Cup to claim all five points available with a 29-20 win over London rivals Saracens. London Irish’s next entry into the ‘22 was made in the Irish Academy, with captain Matt Williams and Tom Pearson combining to release the latter with an irrepressible line break. Strong work from Irish’s pack earned the possession of the ball back at a Saracens put in from the scrum, and after several recycled phases, Irish had their bonus point try. Henry Arundell was close to adding five points of his own on his competitive debut, but a neat offload to Cillian Redmond allowed the young Irish winger to score his first for Irish.
