Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's match coverage of London Irish versus Agen in the Challenge Cup. The match goes ahead despite some of the Challenge Cup matches being cancelled after yesterday's tragic events in Paris. The Irish have made nine changes from their last game with centre Johnny Williams and back row Joe Trayfoot being handed their debuts as The Exiles search for a first win of the season in all competitions. Agen are looking to bounce back from last week's close defeat to Pau.
