Interesting news that Irish RFU are intending to set up an "Irish Exiles" team to encourage players based in the UK to compete got a place in the national team. To qualify all you need is to have been born in Ireland, or to have an Irish parent or grandparent.
In the coming season it is intended that the Exiles team will play a number of friendlies, including games against at least two of the Provincial teams, but in the long run the idea is that the Exiles will take part in the Provincial championship.
The next training session will be on Saturday 27th August at London Irish Training Ground, Sunbury. For more information contact Kerrie-Ann Craddock of Saracens.
