London Irish director of rugby Declan Kidney was full of praise for the club’s new home after seeing his team win their first fixture there with a 22-9 success over a disappointing Leicester side.

After 20 years based in Reading, Irish moved back to their heartland of south-west London to take up residence at the Brentford Community Stadium, which they share with Brentford F.C.
