London Irish squad named to face Munster

A squad of 29 players will travel to Cork this Friday 13 September to play Munster at Irish Independent Park (kick-off 7:30pm).

The teams will compete for the Jack Wakefield Memorial Trophy, which is contested on each occasion that London Irish play an Irish province in a pre-season match. The trophy is named in honour of a young London Irish supporter who passed away in 2005.

This is the club’s only pre-season fixture and acts as preparation for London Irish’s Premiership Cup campaign, which begins on Saturday 21 September with a trip to Kingsholm to play Gloucester Rugby.
