Exiles Director of Rugby Nick Kennedy is 'proud of the effort' in defeat to Leicester.

London Irish lost their 12th league match in a row as they fell to a 19-15 defeat to Leicester Tigers.

"I'm proud of the effort," Kennedy told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Adam Williams. "It's a game we could have won, we were fighting right until the end.

"Execution let us down at times, it was quite a scrappy game."

And Kennedy knows that Irish must start winning games fast.

"We're chipping away with a little rock hammer, and pleased with a bonus point.

"We must start winning games, we need to change that rock hammer for a sledge hammer."
