I’ve dreamt of this since I was 5. For it to be here still doesn’t feel real. I’m so eternally grateful for this opportunity... I’ll never forget this moment
@RFU
I was part of the trial of similar laws during the Championship Cup season a few years ago… we literally had exponentially more concussions because of it.
Tackle choice is situational and forcing low tackles in all cases is even more dangerous
I think the trial showed this 🤦🏼♂️
I’m completely devastated.
This club meant more to me than just a job. It was legit a home away from home and had people involved that I considered a part of my family.
Thank you to all the fans, players & coaches over the last 7 years. It’s been incredible. I love you all☘️
Just finished up my last ever session at
@londonirish
’s facilities. Have been training there for the last 5 weeks to prep for preseason
It’s so sad, not going to lie. So many good people at this club have helped me so much. Another sinking in moment. Can’t believe it’s happened
Next Chapter 💫
Grateful for the opportunity to sign for a world-class organisation after the chaos of the last month. Can’t wait to rip in
I’ll always be a proud

Feeling so blessed for the opportunity to learn from this amazing environment
Big shout out to

for giving me the chance to do what I love every weekend & chase this crazy dream
❤️ you all for the messages of support
If TP doesn’t win player of the year, it’s a travesty. He’s honestly been the best player in

this year.
I am slightly biased, but this kid is unbelievable

Played my first game of professional rugby over 10 years ago… finally get to play in the play-offs tomorrow.
Been a long old wait… keen to rip in tomorrow night. Let’s get it

Just finished recording and editing Pt1 of this
Focuses more on the last month or so, and an insight into the realities of it from a player’s perspective
Will get to more of the Q&A in Pt2, but thought this was important to get out there for everyone. Hopefully upload soon

What in the world is going on…
Thoughts go out to all involved. I know intimately how difficult this time is - proper life altering stuff
Something needs to change
Much deserved for all involved in the club, none more so than all the loyal
@londonirish
fans who stick with us through thick and thin.
Means nothing if we don’t back it up next week, let’s get the BCS rocking and keep the momentum going!
#AnotherOne
Need this in the Prem ASAP. Great promotion and marketing of the game. Feel like Rugby is (very) slowly starting to understand its need for connecting to a wider audience, and doing something about it
Am I the only one who wishes we could play extra time during regular season games? I don’t think any players or fans of either team are left satisfied with a draw...
#LetTheKidsPlay
Living in the UK has turned me into the least Australian, Australian of all time.
I am gonna and say it: England, give me a bit of rain please, your boy is sick of sweating all day.
I promise to not complain when I’m scrumming in the howling rain in two months time. That is all.
Great appointment.
Kissy is one of the most genuine coaches I’ve ever worked with.
Passionate beyond measure, and knows how to pull apart a defence. I think our attack at
@londonirish
last season is enough evidence of how good this man is.
First Q&A Pod is up, hope you guys enjoy.
Slight change in content, as explained in the video,
If you want me to do more of these, just let me know and I will answer a bunch more questions.

Yeah… you could say I’m a bit excited 🤤😍☘️💚
We’ve been building towards this since I joined the club in the Championship in 2016…
What a journey so far, but this is just the beginning! So keen for tonight!
From the Champ to the Champions Cup; has a nice ring to it😬

I’ll tell you what, those
@NottinghamRugby
boys can play. That was a hell of a contest. Boys had to work hard to get those 5 points. Onto the next one 💪🏼💪🏼
FULL-TIME!!!! GET IN!!!!!
@bipmeehan
fly-hacks the ball out and we grab the bonus-point win! PHEW! Credit to
@NottinghamRugby
for a great game.
Final score 👉 29-35
#NOTvLIR
Good to see a lot of the fans putting things in perspective. A lot of negative comments after recent performances; and although I know they come from a place of love, frustration, and wanting better results.. there are a lot of positives shining through. We will keep working ☘️☘️
Recording another pod today
Have a lot of questions left over from the last round, but if you have any more, drop them below and I’ll try cover as many as possible ☘️☘️
Link to the first pod:
Absolutely gutted that we couldn’t finish the job and get the win today. The boys fought so hard and bounced back from last week. Keen to bring the same energy to the MadStad next weekend.
Just the beginning for this group, we’ll keep working. ☘️☘️
FULL-TIME: Saracens 16 - 13 London Irish
So close but not to be. A last minute penalty put
@Saracens
ahead in the final moments. A solid performance from the Exiles but they leave Allianz Park with a losing bonus point.
#SARvLIR
Tough day yesterday, both personally & as a team. Regardless, the experience of running out in front of our fans at Brentford was unbelievable. Had goosebumps & let out a weird emotional scream to compensate 😂. Thank you Green Army. You’re immense.

All three of the London Irish coaches that have gone there are immense. Kissy, Jonathan Fisher, & Brad Davies are all elite… Reds are lucky to have them
A big thank you to all the
@LISCRugby
fans for voting for me for this award. This season has been epic, and we are incredibly lucky to have people who are so loyal and supportive backing us every week.
Still one more game to go, and one more trophy to win.

My initial plan for the Pod was to breakdown our games at Irish, obviously that’s not happening anymore; so a pivot is needed! Not going to waltz into a new club and breakdown games as if I’m an expert
Suggestions? Anything you guys would like to hear from me? Put it on hold?
Wallabies need to keep their hands on the pill.
Two weeks in a row we’ve been starved of possession.
Territory and possession stats must be wildly in favour of Argentina, still time to turn it around!
Side note, Lucio looks amazing, I’m glad I still get to play with him 😂
Can you imagine the atmosphere in that last defensive set yesterday if the green army were in there 👀👀... don’t miss out next year, get your season tickets!! ☘️🔥☘️🔥
Awesome chat with
@omdhoskins
this week on What a Lad. He spoke about the end of London Irish, life as a prop, a unique international debut and much more! Link below

I know it’s early. But this is the best the
@wallabies
have looked in a while.
Minus the cross field kick that led to NZ’s first try, they’ve held the ball and put pressure through possession. Making metres in the carry every time.
Great start 🤞🏼
When I saw this, I reached out to Oliver Hoskins and he was kind enough to share his story in more detail following his debut on the weekend. It's the kind of international tale that makes rugby so compelling. Hope you enjoy. Thanks
@omdhoskins
👍
@MattMerritt
Have thought of maybe breaking down one game a week or something - try to get into it more technically and see if people enjoy that. Will probably be for the more nausey of the audience 😂
WHAT A WIN! 🙌
It's a famous victory at AAMI Park with Miotti's conversion from Anstee's try in the final minutes sealing a dramatic victory over the Rebels 👏
