Lyn Jones, the Director of Rugby of the Rugby Football Union Championship club the London Welsh has vowed to take his relegated side back to the Aviva Premiership at the first attempt next season. And the 48 year old also believes that the club being able to retain its base at Oxford is also vital to the club being able to sustain it in the future. Jones has also promised that the club plans to hold on to its best players in the next season and hence, he is confident of bouncing immediately back.
Jones mentioned that there is a lot of desire as well as passion for the club to retain its base at Oxford and hence, he hopes that the club will do it. The former Director of Rugby of the Ospreys stated that the club needs extremely strong leaders at the top of its offices in order to take the club forward and Oxford holds a key place to the future development of the club.
The Exiles moved to their current home at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford after a successful appeal after winning the RFU Championship playoff at the end of last season and moved from their old home of Deer Park. However, the hopes of the club of surviving their first season in the top flight were shot down when they were docked points for fielding an ineligible player. But the club did finish the season on a high with a 33-22 win over the Worcester Warriors and it is this victory that is giving Jones confidence ahead of the new season.
He added that it is pleasing to be leaving the Aviva Premiership with their heads held high and added they are bidding goodbye only temporarily and promised they will be back very soon.

Barry Jones, the former fly half for the Wales Rugby Team has urged his compatriots to not worry about spoiling England’s hopes of securing the Grand Slam title and instead, keep their focus on beating the Italian team. Stuart Lancaster and his England team could head into a final weekend clash against the Welsh team at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, aiming to win their first Grand Slam in over a decade and that is something that will, no doubt, raise the game of the Welsh players.
The 68 year old John stated that people back home are already starting to get excited about the prospect of England coming into town for their fixture on the 16th of March with a shot at the title and the Wales Rugby Team looking to secure the title for themselves as well. He stated that it would be a dream come true scenario and he is salivating at the prospect himself. But for the national team to be able to keep their end of the bargain, they must not take their eye off anything and concentrate on beating Italy comprehensively.
In search of another title in the Six Nations, Rob Howley, the interim coach of the Wales Rugby Team has named the exact same starting lineup that stunned one of the favorites for the title France and his replacements have also been overhauled and are oozing with confidence.
Having started the championship poorly against the unfancied Irish side, Wales are looking more and more confident with each passing game and their body language has also changed over the last few weeks. Winger Alex Cuthbert also believes that the title is now a realistic title for the team and it would be a dream come true scenario if they beat England to the title.
