This past Sunday 1st XV hooker Ollie Adams helped Championship leaders London Irish to a Championship Cup semi-final as they beat Coventry 27-17 at The Madejski Stadium.

Adams was called in on a loan by Declan Kidney and the London Irish coaches as short term injury cover for the fixture.

Ollie was previously at London Irish having come through their AASE programme and was also a member of their Academy in the 2014/15 season. This season Adams has recovered from a knee ligament injury to make his Championship debut just after Christmas down in Penzance against Cornish Pirates.

Spot a new name? ?
