London Irish travel to face Rovigo on Saturday with the aim of cementing top-seed in the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals by notching their sixth bonus-point win.

Declan Danaher will make his 200th appearance for the club from the openside flank, while Exiles boss Toby Booth has included ten full internationals in his squad, including England EPS members Nick Kennedy and Delon Armitage, both of whoms start on the bench.

"On behalf of all connected with the Club I want to congratulate Declan on achieving his special milestone," said Booth. "As a 'one-club' player he is a rarity in the modern era and is an exemplary professional who has given so much to this club. He recently re-signed for another three years and hopefully will enjoy lots more good times over coming seasons.

"While we had a comfortable win over Rovigo at Madejski Stadium last October we know tomorrow will be different. Playing at home in front of your supporters always brings out the best in a team so we're expecting a tough test and have prepared accordingly."
