London Irish failed to make home advantage count in Round 3, going down 29-22 at the Madejski Stadium, and that handed all the momentum to Gloucester who have gone on to qualify as group winners with a match to spare.

But London Irish will want to go out with a victory over Bordeaux-Begles and make it four from four from their French tests having already done the double over Mont de Marsan.

The Exiles won 43-16 at Bordeiax in Round 1 with wing Topsy Ojo getting one of the six tries that sunk Raphael Ibanez's club.
