Bishop has faith in Irish

London Irish were rewarded for knocking Saracens out of the Powergen Cup by being paired with Premiership strugglers Leeds in the semi-final draw.

The Exiles lifted the trophy by beating Northampton in the 2002 final and winger Justin Bishop is desperate for another trip to Twickenham.

Gloucester and Bath meet in the other semi-final. Both games will be played on the weekend of 5-6 March.
