Sean O’Brien is set to leave Leinster for London Irish after this year’s World Cup.
The flanker will link up with former Ireland head coach Declan Kidney and Les Kiss at the English side, according to Rugby Inside Line, Rugby Pas, RTE Sport and others.

O’Brien will turn 32 next month and will reportedly be offered a three-year contract worth £450,000 per annum by the Championship who are nine points clear at the top of the table.
However, due to in no small part his recent injury record, some fans aren’t convinced.
Sean O'Brien is a fine player, but regardless of how good he is, London Irish throwing £450k at a 32-year-old forward with his recent injury history is absolutely insane.
