Ellis and Fowlie shine but London Irish exit JP Morgan Premiership 7s

Impressive displays by Academy youngsters Gerard Ellis and Tom Fowlie failed to prevent holders London Irish from slipping out of the JP Morgan Premiership 7s.
?

Exiles finished third in Group C at Allianz Park on Saturday after losing to hosts Saracens and first-placed Harlequins before beating Wasps in their final game.
?

In the first game of the night, guest player James Greenwood scored two tries and David Treharne converted as Irish hit back to level after going 12-0 down.
?

But Saracens pulled away again to seal a 24-12 victory, thanks to tries by Jack Watson, Nils Mordt, Ben Ransom and Tim Streather and a conversion apiece for Mordt and Streather.
?

Skipper Ellis got Irish off to the perfect start against Quins in their second game when he charged his way over.
?

But Quins responded with six tries in a 42-19 victory, courtesy of Patrice Agunda (2), Ollie Lindsay-Hague (2), Harry Sloan and Charlie Walker, along with conversions by Jeremy Manning (4) and Louis Grimoldby (2).
?

Treharne weighed in with a try and two conversions for Irish, while 18-year-old Fowlie showed an explosive turn of pace in the final minute, running in from his own 22.
?

Coach Peter Richards' youthful side saved their best performance until last as they battled it out with Wasps to avoid bottom spot.
?

Although Irish knew qualification was beyond them, guest player Juliano Fiori quickly scored the first of their five tries in an impressive 31-19 win.
?

Fowlie then showed his electric acceleration again as he raced down the touchline to score, while an Ellis try and a couple of Treharne conversions ensured a 17-0 half-time lead.
?

Will Smith added Irish's fourth try, also converted by Treharne, before Wasps responded through Oskar Hirskyj-Douglas and George Eastwell. Both those tries were converted by Liam O'Neill.
?

Greenwood produced a cracking individual effort, which he also converted for Irish, before Wasps' Sam Egerton went over for the final try of the match.
?

Quins beat Saracens 24-21 in the final match of the night, but both teams had already secured the top two spots to guarantee their qualification for Friday's finals at Bath's Recreation ground.
?

They will now battle it out with Newcastle Falcons, Leicester Tigers, Worcester Warriors and Gloucester.
?
