Exiles name traveling squad for Munster

Declan Kidney has today confirmed the squad that is set to travel to Ireland to take on Munster in London Irish’s final pre-season fixture before the 2022/23 campaign gets underway.

Last weekend saw Irish edge out Jersey Reds 29-31 in an enthralling contest, with tomorrow’s contest against Munster set to be their final preparations before Round 1 of the Gallagher Premiership.

“Heading to Munster is always a special occasion, it will be a great experience for our younger players to play at Musgrave Park,” said Declan Kidney, Director of Rugby.

“It’s a venue that is steeped in the tradition of Munster Rugby.

“Getting players minutes on the pitch is invaluable as we enter the final stages of our preparation for the season ahead. We managed to get 31 players some minutes under their belts last weekend in Jersey, and Friday night is another opportunity to do so again.”
