Sailosi Tagicakibau will return for London Irish
London Irish has made five changes to its side for tomorrow’s LV= cup round four clash with Gloucester at Madejski Stadium (kick-off 3pm).
Adam Thompstone and Sailosi Tagicakibau come onto the wings with Shontayne Hape and Jonathan Spratt forming the centre partnership. Matt Garvey will start at blindside flanker after returning to the club from England Saxons duty.
London Irish head coach Toby Booth said: “This time of year is always difficult with players away on international duty. That has been exacerbated by the injury list we currently have. However, last weekend we showed a lot of attacking intent which we aim to replicate tomorrow whilst being more clinical in the final third.”
