London Irish stage epic comeback to rescue draw against table-topping Bristol

Callum Sheedy’s hopes of a gentle runout before taking on England in the Six Nations were wrecked by an incredible comeback from London Irish.

The Bristol fly-half was back on club duty a week after coming off the bench to spark Wales’ come-from-behind win over Scotland.

But this time the boot was on the other foot as his Bears side romped to a 25-point lead in the first half - then gave it all back in the second. “Without a doubt this feels like a loss,” boss Pat Lam admitted after never-say-die Irish scored 21 unanswered points in the last 16 minutes.

Bristol still move three points clear at the top of the Premiership, cashing in on Exeter’s shock home loss to Northampton. But this was a blown opportunity and it would have been even worse
