Guinness has sponsored London Irish for almost 30 years – their association started in 1992 – but they are now set for important talks.
The brewing giant claims the presence of Jackson on the Irish roster is a concern.
In a statement to the Irish Daily Mail, the sponsor said: “We are meeting the club this week to discuss our serious concerns regarding their decision, which is not consistent with our values.”

Cash Converters announced last week it would not continue its association with the newly-promoted Gallagher Premiership club, tweeting: “As a company, we are committed to the highest possible standards when it comes to our investments in any sponsorships and collaborations.
“As a result of a detailed and thorough review of our support for London Irish, we have decided to discontinue our association with the club.”
