Preview: London Welsh vs. London Irish

London Welsh vs. London Irish

Two of the Aviva Premiership's out-of-form teams go face to face at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday as London Welsh entertain London Irish.

Four defeats in their last five league matches have place Welsh in 10th place in the table, while their opponents this weekend are one place below thanks to just two wins in nine.

The hosts have named an unchanged lineup from the side that lost 23-16 to Northampton Saints last weekend.

George Skivington returns for Irish and Jebb Sinclair is among the replacements following his loan spell with South African outfit Western Province.
