Changing times for Irish

London Irish have made four changes for their trip to France to face Montauban in the Parker Pen Challenge Cup on Sunday.

The match was originally scheduled for tomorrow but severe weather in the region has forced a delay and a change of venue.

Paul Gustard replaces the injured Declan Danaher while in the backs Ed Thrower takes over from Michael Horak at full-back, Nick Greenstock replaces Geoff Appleford at outsidecentre, and Mark Mapletoft comes in at fly-half for the injured Barry Everitt (hamstring).

Also ruled out of the match at Stade Georges Pompidou because of injury are Rob Hardwick (thumb), Kieran Roche (leg), Chris Sheasby (eye) and Ryan Strudwick (leg).

Irish's head coach Gary Gold said: "When you play away in France you know you are in for a tough contest. All French teams want to do well in front of their home crowds. Montauban will provide a stern test for us."
