London Irish Chief Executive Bob Casey said: “Every year there is always a real sense of excitement surrounding the launch of our St Patrick’s Party jersey and this year has been no different.

“Our young designer Shaun Egan has inspired the design of this year’s jersey, a design which I’m sure our supporters will like.

“The St Patrick’s Party promises to be a fantastic event as we all come together to enjoy the craic when Cornish Pirates visit the Madejski Stadium.
