The London Irish Rugby club is getting ready for a stern test against the Harlequins at the Super Sevens Rugby championship quarter finals. The Exiles qualified for the quarter finals after winning their two group B games in Gloucester. The team put up some impressive performance in attack and defense by the young as well as the experienced players coming to the fore. Cam Cowell who will be playing as a winger expressed his confidence in the side lauding their fearless nature. Each of the players is hungry to make an impact and according to Cowell their analysis against the opponent team shall help them in the course of the game. This will be the young star’s maiden first team appearance since he had become a part of the academy after playing for the England Under-18’s team.
London Irish Academy Director Nick Kennedy made his point clear saying that he has no illusions ahead of their fixture against probably one of the best teams in the competition. They will have their task cut out and will have to play out of their skins in order to win the campaign. The London Irish team has made four changes to the squad from the last week. Will Harries, Ollie Williams, Jamie Hearn and Theo Brophy Clews shall join the squad. Ollie Curry will have the onus of captaincy on his shoulders in the crucial match. The Harlequins have also followed it up with four changes in their squad. Louis Grimoldby, Charlie Walker, Sam Stuart and Kieran Tredwell have been replaced by Ian Clark, Simon Pitfield, Gavin Dampies and the academy scrum half Jordan Burns. The much awaited quarter final is sure to produce some fireworks as fans from each side will be rooting for their favorite stars going up against one another.
