Best of luck, Luke! ☘️— London Irish (@londonirish) April 4, 2023
“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, Director of Rugby.
“Like Ed Scragg with Sydney University, Luke will experience valuable game time and it will only benefit him and London Irish in the future.”
“It’s a great opportunity for me to measure myself in a new environment,” said Green.
“Not many people get to test themselves abroad so early in their careers, so I’m excited to pick up some new experiences that will help me to develop as a player for when I return to London Irish.”
London Irish's next game will be against Saracens on April 21.
