Technical Director Declan Kidney knows his side were outclassed by the league leaders.

London Irish were defeated 45-5 by Exeter to move to the brink of Premiership relegation.

"It was a tough day," Kidney told 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire's Adam Williams. "Exeter were full value for their win.

"We give them a lot of credit for how they went about their business."

And Kidney doesn't want to admit his side are all but relegated, despite there being a nine point gap at the bottom of the league with two matches left to play.

"There's nine points in it, and there's ten points left, so we're going to keep fighting."
