Irish head coach Toby Booth said: "We're delighted that Sailosi and Chris have signed long-term contracts with us. "There is no doubt that these two players have been on the wish-lists of many clubs, both in the Premiership and in France. "We've often spoken about this club's determination to continue to compete consistently with the best of the best in this country and Europe to win silverware. "Retaining the services of quality international players like Sailosi and Chris is essential to the realisation of our objectives. "
