London Irish can confirm the squad that will complete the remainder of the 2019/20 season, restarting with a trip to Bath on Saturday 15 August (kick-off 3pm).

The Exiles have added six new faces to the squad, on a variety of contract lengths.

Matt Cornish, Agustin Creevy, Sebastian de Chaves, Ross Neal, Tom Homer and Charlton Kerr have all joined the team ahead of the resumption of the Gallagher Premiership.

“We have a squad of what are first and foremost good people, who are excited to resume rugby after a long break away from the game” said Declan Kidney, Director of Rugby.

“The guys have been training with great intensity and are looking forward to the trip to the Rec on Saturday 15 August, for what will be a challenging restart to the competition.”

“We will miss our supporters traveling with us, so we hope to put in performances that they will be proud of and we can’t wait to have them back in the stands when it is safe to do so.”
