Ahead of London Irish’s St. Patrick’s Party at the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday, Tom Pearson spoke exclusively with TRU’s Joe Harvey about his club’s ambitions, his rise from university rugby and international ambition.

The London Irish forward has played his part in the Exiles’ recent upturn in fortunes and TRU heard from his former and current head coach about the 22-year-old’s rise to the Premiership.
