London Irish flanker Declan Danaher has admitted that he is no longer "dreading" the day that he has to hang up his boots.

The 33-year-old has suggested that this may be his last season before he focuses on a coaching career with the Exiles.

"I'm not dreading it," Danaher told BBC Berkshire. "I think in my mid-20s or heading towards my 30s I was in denial, but I've come to terms with it now."

The flanker is expected to feature in his 270th game for London Irish this weekend.
