Sports Mole previews Saturday's Aviva Premiership encounter between Northampton and London Welsh at Franklins Gardens.

London Welsh can put an end to to their run of two consecutive defeats on Saturday when they travel to Northampton Saints.

Lyn Jones's side come into the match having been beaten twice on the bounce in the LV= Cup, while three losses from their last four Aviva Premiership outings have left them in 10th place in the table.

Northampton lost their last four matches before they got back to winning ways against Newport Gwent Dragons in the LV= Cup last weekend.

Jim Mallinder has opted not to shuffle his pack too much this time around, but London Welsh have made a total of nine changes for the contest.

Hudson Tonga'uiha, Tom Arscott and Tyson Keats are just three of the names who come into the side.

Recent form:

Northampton: WLLLLW

London Welsh: LWLWLL

Lineups:

Northampton: May, Pisi, Waldouck, Burrell, Elliott, Lamb, Roberts, Tonga'uiha, Haywood, Mujati, Manoa, Lawes, Clark, Dowson, Van Velze
