London Irish will be without Springbok CJ Van der Linde for the foreseeable future as he requires surgery on a pectoral injury.

Van der Linde will return to South Africa to have the procedure and he will remain in the country to continue his rehabilitation.

He has made just one appearance for the Exiles after his move to the club in December.
