LONDON Welsh head coach Justin Burnell has shuffled his pack for tomorrow’s Aviva Premiership clash with Sale Sharks at the AJ Bell Stadium (2).
Hooker Koree Britton, plus locks Dean Schofield and James Down come into the starting XV.
Britton replaces Nathan Morris, while the introduction of Schofield and Down sees Pete Browne move to blindside flanker and Matt Corker drop to the bench.
Lachlan McCaffrey shifts from No 6 to No 8, with Ollie Stedman now among the replacements.

“We were pleased with the fact that we were able to pick up a point at Bath – we scored four good tries against a very good Bath side,” said Burnell.
“But we were once again disappointed with our individual errors.
“The focus has to be to maintain our attacking flair and minimise those errors.”
Sale have named former Exiles captain Jon Mills at lock, with Tom Arscott, who played for Welsh in 2012-13, on the wing.
Former Chinnor flanker Dave Seymour, who is expected to captain Sale in the absence of Dan Braid, continues at openside.
Like Welsh, Sale have lost their opening two matches.
Sale Sharks: McLean, Brady, Addison, Leota, Arscott, Cipriani, Cusiter, Harrison, Mamukashvili, Cobilas, Mills, Paterson, Lund, Seymour (capt), Easter. Reps: Neild, de Marchi, Lewis-Roberts, Ostrikov, Fahiki, Cliff, Ford, Jennings.
London Welsh: Jewell, Stegmann, Reynolds, Molenaar, Scott, Barkley (capt), Weepu, Reeves, Britton, Vea, Schofield, Down, P Browne, Thorpe, McCaffrey. Reps: Morris, Cahill, Gilding, Corker, Stedman, R Lewis, Roberts, May.
