Former Ireland out-half Paddy Jackson has been selected to be part of London Irish's leadership group for the upcoming Premiership season. Rather than name a captain, Declan Kidney and Les Kiss have selected four players who will lead the squad this season. Jackson is one of that quartet, along with Scotland international Blair Cowan, ex-Australia scrum-half Nick Phipps and back-row Matt Rogerson. London Irish finished 10th in the Premiership last season and will be hoping their new ground can inspire them to new heights under the former Ireland coach. "We believe that in Blair, Paddy, Nick and Matt we've got a very strong leadership group for the upcoming season," the former Munster supremo said.
