Glasgow Warriors hooker Kevin Bryce has joined London Irish on a short-term loan deal.
The 25-year-old has been drafted into the Aviva Premiership club as cover for the injured David Paice.
Paice was recently sidelined for the Exiles with a fractured radius.
"Kevin is a very promising young hooker," director of rugby Brian Smith told the club's official website. "He's providing cover for David Paice who is still a month away from playing.
"Gregor Townsend has kindly loaned Kevin to us. He's a tough lad with a good all-round game. I'm sure he'll do well while he is with us."
Irish continue their Aviva Premiership campaign on Friday when they make the trip to Sale Sharks.
