Fair play - that was a hard earned win!

Irish are not an easy side to beat in Brentford. They always look dangerous.

Our defence over the last week is to be massively applauded!

Finally the close ones going our way.

So stressful watching these tigers games currently!

Thought Youngs had a much better second half, kudos to him for sorting it out.

Martin was like a man possessed, how long can borthwick ignore him? Looks consistently international standard atm.

Some great attacking shape from us in the game. Pollard really running the show in the last couple of games.Defence is back to last season levels.

What impressed me most is that the boys were robbed of two tries by some frankly mind-boggling officiating and yet they didn't lose their heads and still saw it through. I think some sides would have lost their composure.

Loving Montoya as captain by the way (sorry Hanro)

The turning point was Heyes tackle to hold up Gigenga’s try ! Different game if they had scored that ! Martin was class ! Brilliant ! So happy with the squad

Brown and Potter will be buying the beers!

People have been talking up Pearson for England. A good player but Martin dominated him today.

In the end it was a very good team performance. A lot of open play but the defence and restriction of space in the 2nd half was a real difference.

Well that was worth a fiver!

Martin immense but also thought Potter was back to form. Youngs better 2nd half.
Great performance by the whole pack. Gopperth needs to be benched next game. Likewise Ashton who looked slow tonight, Simmons deserves his chance.

The whole pack very good.
