London Welsh winger Nick Scott is confident the Exiles can put their British & Irish Cup defeats behind them as they get back to Greene King IPA Championship action.

Justin Burnell’s table-toppers entertain fourth placed Cornish Pirates at the Kassam Stadium tomorrow evening (6.30pm), after back-to-back cup defeats to London Scottish and Pontypridd.

Leeds Carnegie and Bristol follow in quick succession for the Exiles and Scott says that it will be a test of the new-look Welsh squad to see how they recover.

“It’s about how we react to these two defeats,” said Scott.

“Ideally, we wanted to carry on winning, so on Saturday it’s about producing a good performance.

“The defeats haven’t changed us. We’re still confident, we still believe we’re a good team and we still believe we’re rightfully top of the table.

“It’s about getting back to the league and back to business.

“We’ve three massive games coming up to put our intent and statement on the Championship.

“If we come away with three wins, which we’re fully capable of doing, then you’ve got to look at us as the real deal.

He added: “Home form is going to be key in the Championship.

“We’ve got to be looking at winning all our home games and there’s no reason why we can’t do that.

“We want the Kassam to hold a fear factor for visiting teams, as that will help us massively.”
