Surely they should be looking to stagger their debuts a little, if only for commercial reasons. If Mils' name is on the teamsheet, I'm sure it'll create a surge of ticket purchases, same with Bundee.

I suppose they'll be just back from a 3 week break so not much chance for these guys to get gametime before rounds 3 and 4 of challenge cup (assuming they're on our selected panel for ERCC).

How the feck did D'arcy get in there at 13? Alex Dunbar surely. (off topic sorry)

Tom McCartney was a late "precautionary" withdrawal from aucklands itm cup match this morning.

I would love to see Gopperth at the sportsground next year he is just what we need with Sexton retuning to Leinster!!!!!!

Yeah either him or Madigan would be nice.

Conor Gilsenan has played exactly one minute of rugby for London Irish since moving over there (tbf I don't know if he's injured at the moment). It doesn't seem like the move is working out the way he hoped. He's someone we should keep an eye and try and get back when his contract expires.

I don't think eoin Griffin has featured either.

Yeah tried opening his profile and couldn't on the site. Ironically the same thing happened when I went to open Jamie Hagan's also. Maybe their trying to tell them something!

ya dont think griffan or hagan has played much, had a look, all 3 in the 'A' team

London Irish A return to Aviva A League action this evening with a trip to Sandy Park to take on Exeter Braves (kick-off 7 30pm).

1. Jamie Hagan
7. Conor Gilsenan
12. Eoin Griffin

Grass isn't always greener comes to mind

Wonder if Griffin could end up at munster yet after all. They are supposed to be looking at loan options for centre due to long term injuries to bylendaal, Earls, goggin and Bohane.
