Scottish make preparations for the threat of Falcons

LONDON SCOTTISH lionAfter an opening weekend victory against Rotherham Titans, London Scottish will be looking to maintain winning ways at The Athletic Ground against Newcastle Falcons for their second successive home game in the RFU Championship.

The Falcons will come to Richmond off the back of an opening day victory themselves, after maximum points against Bristol.

London Scottish Man of the Match v Rotherham, James Love, is fully aware of the threat Newcastle pose.

Love: “Obviously, we are going into this game as underdogs, so all the pressure is on them. We are going to give it all we’ve got and play how we know we can play. We’ve got a lot of ability and talent in the team, so you can’t write us off."
