Exiles unchanged

London Irish have made no changes to the team that played against NEC Harlequins for this weekend's game against Gloucester.

The club’s mini-injury crisis is beginning to ease. Justin Bishop (hamstring), Declan Danaher (hamstring), Michael Horak (thigh) and Rodd Penney (hamstring) are expected to be fit for the club’s Zurich A League game against Saracens at Sunbury on Monday evening.

The long term injuries to Adam Halsey (foot), Peter Poulos (shoulder) and Doug Wheatley (hand) are improving and they are expected to be available for selection in three weeks.
