Hearn scores first professional try

Canadian international Ciaran Hearn notched his first points as a professional with an early try in London Irish’s defeat at Gloucester. The big centre used his strength to break through one tackle and speed to skip past another for a memorable moment in his new career. Despite the loss, the Exiles look a better side with Hearn in the lineup and achieved their first Premiership victory of the season a week ago against Northampton. They looked odds-on for another after the first forty at Kingsholm, but ran out of steam in the second half after an Alex Lewington yellow card stretched their resources in tough conditions.

Hearn’s try can be seen at the 30 second mark of the official match highlights below.
