    There's not been much for London Irish to shout about during this Premiership season of struggle, but when there has, it's come at the Madejski Stadium.

    Tom Coventry's side, four points adrift at the bottom of the table, have won four out of their past five games in Berkshire and will need a repeat of their 23-18 victory against Gloucester a fortnight ago to haul themselves off the basement.

    Sale haven't tasted victory in the Royal County since October 2006.

    I'm never really sure when the "business end of the season" actually begins but, nonetheless, I'm fairly sure we're there now.

    Round 19 got off to a flyer last night, with one England winger given his marching orders and another scoring twice on his return from a 10-week ban.

    And so, with four more matches to bring you this afternoon, which way will we be twisting and turning next?

    Welcome along to today's Premiership rugby.
