Second-half tries from Henry Purdy and Steve McColl see Gloucester ease past London Irish 21-9 at the Madejski Stadium in the Aviva Premiership.

A flurry of second-half points saw Gloucester Rugby run out 21-9 winners over London Irish in the Aviva Premiership this afternoon.

A quiet first period saw the visitors hold a narrow 3-0 lead, with only Greig Laidlaw's penalty separating the sides at the break at the Madejski Stadium.

However, the second half saw tries from Henry Purdy and Steve McColl as Gloucester found their form.

Laidlaw added two more penalties and a conversion of his own for Gloucester in what turned out to be a convincing win in which Shane Geraghty grabbed all the points for the home side.
