London Irish considering game in Boston

[Nielsch]

Everyone knows their real name these days is the Not-Nots.

That said, I do know of quite a few Irish-born living in London who look at London Irish as their team.

That's nice. Do they travel to Reading a lot?

My Brother has lived in Reading for about 8 years and didn't even know that the team was there, despite supporting Reading FC and going to watch matches at the Mad-Jetski :lol:

your point about London Irish is true but to be fair it's just the same as Sale calling themselves Sale as a minority of the players are from there

Pfft, if we're going to get picky there's about 11 from the area in the squad atm

As compared to the 2 Irishmen in the LI squad. I suppose we could count the players of Irish descent there but as they're all tied to England...

And to answer the other question, yes they do. Tbh, for all the mockery of Reading as not London and rightly so, it wouldn't take me awfully much longer to get from my home in SE London to Reading as it would to Twickenham.

Ironically, it'll take Irish a hell of a lot longer to reach Twickenham!
