Lyn Jones says there is no doubting the threat Northampton will pose to his London Welsh side.

The Exiles will need to contain a Saints team featuring England men Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes, Tom Wood and Ben Foden if they are to have any chance of winning.

Head coach Jones said: “They are a team that is fighting hard to be in the top quarter of the league with Saracens, Leicester and Harlequins.

“At the moment, they are one of the teams not quite making it.

“They want to try and force their way into that group.

“We know their threat and how they are going to come at us.”
