Premiership: London Irish 43-21 Newcastle Falcons - Hassell-Collins scores hat-trick in big Irish win

Ollie Hassell-Collins' hat-trick helped London Irish to a dominant 43-21 Premiership win over Newcastle Falcons.

Irish secured a bonus point after 33 minutes after two tries from Hassell-Collins and one each for Steve Mafi and Curtis Rowe as Sean Robinson and Callum Chick replied for Falcons.

Hassell-Collins' third try came 12 minutes after the break before Agustin Creevy burrowed in 15 minutes later.

Adam Radwan scored from 50 metres for a late consolation for Newcastle.

The win sees the Exiles move up to sixth in the Premiership while Newcastle are eighth.

Irish were irresistible with ball in hand early on - Rowe found a gap to sprint through after seven minutes before Hassell-Collins followed suit from 30 metres soon after.

Robinson went in under the posts to cut the gap, but an excellent looping pass from Paddy Jackson sent Hassell-Collins away for his second score before Mafi went in from close range four minutes later.

Chick's try shortly before the break kept Falcons in the game, but any hopes of getting anything out of it were ended within the first 15 minutes of the second period as a Jackson penalty and Hassell-Collins' third try ended the game as a contest.

Olly Cracknell had a try disallowed shortly after when video replays showed he had been tackled before he slid over, but Irish only had to wait another 10 minutes for their final try as Creevy got his seventh of the season.

Radwan's excellent effort late on made the score more respectable for Newcastle, but could not take the gloss off a polished London Irish performance.
