Watching the boys warming up Captain Shane looks lovely and The Wizard of OZ is showing off his kicking skills, don’t know why he is not even playing today!The boys come on the pitch led by Captain Shane and the first thing we have to do is all clap for Nelson Mandela, he is a very nice, important man who has died this week, lots and lots of people liked him very much....
London Irish welcome Wasps to the MadStad on Saturday with both teams looking to bounce back from defeats the previous time out. While the Irish boys will be rueing what could have been after another determined effort fell short at Welford Road, Wasps will be keen to draw a line under the heavy home defeat to Bath that has marred an otherwise decent run of form in the Premiership of late, with wins...
Well I think it's fair to say that Welford Road has never been a happy hunting ground for us, with a 20-19 win at the end of the 2002/03 season our last league victory there. ...

There has been some debate on here in recent weeks over the pros and cons of various match reporting styles, and indeed, whether there is any need for match reports at all. For Amlin Cup and LV Cup games this is perhaps not the case....
Ever since Reading University opened to its students for the new academic year, London Irish have been marketing this game to green (in more ways than one hopefully!) students to come down and experience the Craic. As someone who has just graduated from Uni it was great to see so many of them and I for one hope some of them want to come back....
For those of you who know me and have read my views on here is will be no surprise as we move into my 9th season supporting LI this was the nearest that I have come to managing to take a neutral position at a club game involving LI for a long time....
As always I shall preface my report by saying that it is likely become less of a factual account of the match, and more my musings on the day as the report goes on. For me the build up this game began some time ago, when I realised I wouldn't make it to Twickenham or Sixways due to work commitments....
Perceived wisdom is that there are three clubs we should worry about if London Irish are going to steer clear of the drop zone. In round 2 they were paired so it was always going to be a weekend to lay down an early marker. Sale had already done so in round 1 surprising everyone by travelling to Gloucester and winning. Newcastle, Worcester and London Irish all lost against big clubs....
And so to the new season at HQ – the annual event which arouses more debate than any other “home” fixture. Pre-match discussion inevitably revolved around the changes of personnel in the Exiles line-up and the strength of the Sarries’ squad. Fair to say that even the most optimistic of Irish supporters could foresee only one result – and the match was all about restoring...
