NEWPORT Gwent Dragons suffered defeat at the hand of London Irish at the Madejski Stadium but they showed tremendous spirit with a second half fightback.

The Dragons grabbed a four-try bonus point after Ben Daly, Gareth Wyatt and Ceri Sweeney added to a first half effort by Richard Fussell.

But the game was long gone by then after Irish built up a 29-7 lead at the break with the bonus point in the bag.
