Four scores: Shane Monahan

Gloucester wing Shane Monahan expressed his delight after scoring four tries against London Irish in the Challenge Cup on Saturday.

The home side ran in seven tries in a comprehensive 47-3 rout, with Monahan grabbing the headlines to take his tally this season to 11 tries after arriving from Rotherham.

"I'm just absolutely delighted to play because I've been in the situation before where you just train," Monahan said to BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"I fought very hard to get to this level and getting the opportunity now to do it is a dream come true for me."

"As it happens, this season the first 'A' game I ever played for Gloucester, I scored four tries against Worcester so that was a special moment for me.

"To get to do it twice in a season is brilliant and I might get it a third time, we'll see what happens.

"These games are very important for the Premiership as well because you want to have that momentum."
