Gloucester extended their unbeaten Aviva Premiership Rugby home record to 22 games as a penalty from replacement Freddie Burns saw them edge a thrilling six-try encounter at Kingsholm.

The Cherry and Whites had looked well on course for victory after opening up a 23-10 advantage late in the first half thanks in part to a Tom Voyce score and a penalty try.

But Irish, who had claimed the opening try through Alex Gray in the first minute, hit back as Topsy Ojo and Steve Shingler went over to help them establish a 27-23 lead.

Hooker Darren Dawidiuk responded with the hosts' third try while Tim Taylor kicked 15 points, but it was a penalty from Burns which eventually sealed the win after Exiles full-back Tom Homer, who racked up 15 points of his own, had tied the scores with his third penalty.

Gloucester made the worst possible start when fly-half Taylor's attempt to launch a counter-attack saw his loose pass picked off by Gray inside 60 seconds, giving the former Newcastle man a simple canter to the posts for a try converted by Homer.
