London Welsh sign Neil Briggs

London Welsh complete the signing of England Saxons international Neil Briggs.

Premiership newcomers London Welsh have completed the signing of former Sale captain Neil Briggs.

the 27-year-old hooker made 104 appearances for Sale and was also capped by the England Saxons.

"It's going to be a big challenge, but I like that. It's a chance to help a club grow," said Briggs.

"London Welsh is a club which wants to push forward and they showed that with the fight they put in to go up. I'd heard good things about Lyn [Jones] and they play some pretty attractive rugby.

"The Premiership's tough for teams who've been there for ten years, so for a team coming up it's always going to be hard, but having seen how hard the boys are working and the way they want to play, I think we'll surprise a few people."
