Northampton vs. London Welsh

London Welsh can put an end to to their run of two consecutive defeats on Saturday when they travel to Northampton Saints.

Lyn Jones's side come into the match having been beaten twice on the bounce in the LV= Cup, while three losses from their last four Aviva Premiership outings have left them in 10th place in the table.

Jim Mallinder has opted not to shuffle his pack too much this time around, but London Welsh have made a total of nine changes for the contest.

Hudson Tonga'uiha, Tom Arscott and Tyson Keats are just three of the names who come into the side.
