London Irish fans must have been very good boys and girls this year according to Will Greenwood who writes in the Daily Telegraph.
"Normally you only get a little bit of what you asked Father Christmas for – but all their Christmases came early. I never thought I would be writing about an Irish side being top of the table during the festive season.
"They were the ugly sisters to the would-be Cinderellas. I was certain that whenever one of the bigger clubs asked where Irish were, we would all reply: "Behind you!" So what happened? Well, Irish have won 10 games on the trot, and they have done so by putting in some fantastic performances and finding a great vein of consistency."
