London Irish 20 Perpignan 9 - Madejski Memory

A Declan Danaher try and 15 points from the boot of Peter Hewat secured London Irish a place in the semi-final of the Heineken Cup back in 2008.

The victory saw the Exiles into their first ever Heineken Cup semi-final with a huge win against French Top 14 side Perpignan.

The visitors went ahead through a Percy Montgomery penalty goal, but two Peter Hewat penalties put Irish into a 6-3 lead.

The South African World Cup winner Montgomery levelled it at 6-6 but soon after Danaher crossed for a try to put Irish five points ahead.

Montgomery cut the gap with his third penalty but Hewat added three more of his own after the break to seal the win.
