Green off to America

London Irish academy graduate Luke Green has joined Major League Rugby's San Diego Legion on loan.

The prop links up with former Exiles Blair Cowan in the playing squad and Alex Corbisiero who is scrum coach.

Green will return to Irish before the start of next season.

“We know Luke will be in good hands with Blair and Alex already over in San Diego and look forward to seeing the developments he makes from his time in America,” said Declan Kidney, London Irish's director of rugby.
