London Irish prop Faan Rautenbach says all his focus is on helping the Exiles in their Premiership campaign.<\/b><\/p>\n

The prop signed a one-year extension to his contract with Irish last month to keep him with the club until 2012. <\/p>\n

He told BBC Berkshire: “We can still achieve a lot – I’m putting my weight behind it to show I believe it. <\/p>\n

“We are still in the hunt for the fourth spot in the league and we won’t back down till the last game,” Rautenbach added. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The prop also admitted that the temptation to return to his native South Africa was strong, but said his recent injury-free run had gone some way to persuade him to stay.<\/p>\n

“I’ve surprised myself over the past couple of seasons, playing a lot of games, which has been quite enjoyable after having a bit of bad spell when I first arrived here. <\/p>\n

“There are a lot of reasons to go back – the kids are growing up, the weather. But as I’ve said before, I didn’t expect it when I first arrived here, but I’ve made a very nice family in London Irish itself. <\/p>\n

“Then I’ll go back to farming, to my bit of land back home with a few cattle running on it – I’m looking forward to life after this.” <\/p>\n

This weekend Irish travel to Bolton’s Reebok Stadium to take on Sale in the Premiership and Rautenbach believes their recent good form is set to continue. <\/p>\n

“I really think that over the last two games we’ve been doing well. The conditions have changed and the fields are getting a little bit harder and faster which is suiting us.”\n<\/p>\n
