London Irish rose to fourth place in the Premiership after coming from behind to see off struggling Bath.

Josh Bayliss put the home side ahead, only for Paddy Jackson and Ben White to give Irish a half-time lead.

Fly-half Jackson went on to complete four successful kicks to extend the visitors' advantage in the second half.

Barend van Rensburg also crossed the line to wrap up an emphatic Irish win - their fourth victory in five games to lift themselves into the top four.
