London Welsh will be allowed to play in the Aviva Premiership next season

By Daily Express reporter

LONDON WELSH will, after all, be allowed to play in the Aviva Premiership next season after successfully appealing the initial decision by the RFU to reject their application.

The Championship winners, who will play their home games in Oxford?s Kassam Stadium, eventually persuaded an appeals panel they did satisfy ground eligibility criteria. London Welsh beat Cornish Pirates in the Championship play-off final but it was deemed that their Old Deer Park ground did not meet Premiership requirements.

It means Dean Richards will make his return to rugby after a three-year ban following the Bloodgate saga in the second tier of English rugby, with his new club Newcastle relegated from the Premiership.
