Welsh have made a habit of defying the pessimists this season, but anything from today's match would represent a big achievement. No doubt Exiles fans will have one eye on how relegation rivals Sale get on against Saracens.

London Welsh are 25 minutes away from what could be their toughest home game of the Aviva Premiership season. Defending champions Harlequins beat Welsh 40-3 at the Stoop earlier in the season and need a win today to go back to the top of the table.
