London Irish scrum-half Ben Meehan says the side cannot wait to play in the capital this weekend, even though it’ll be at a temporary home instead of their new ground.
Irish are moving back to London after 20 years at Reading’s Madejski Stadium, but their new home, the Brentford Community Stadium, is not ready yet.
As a result, the club are playing their remaining Premiership home games this season, starting with Northampton Saints on Saturday, at Harlequins’ ground, The Stoop.
But Meehan said: “We are stoked to be playing in London, at The Stoop. That’ll do for now and then we will hopefully get to Brentford asap and really kick on from there.
“It is lovely of Harlequins to offer up their field for us to play on. It is in London, so we are happy.
“We love The Stoop and we are actually pumped to play there this weekend.”
