Premiership Rugby : News : Preview: Newcastle Falcons v London Wasps

Newcastle Falcons slipped up at Sale Sharks on Friday evening and have won just one of their last five Premiership matches.

The Falcons have been victorious in only one Premiership match at Kingston Park since 1 November 2009: 25-13 over Gloucester on 31 March.

London Wasps shared in a 58 point thriller to tie with Harlequins at Twickenham in the Aviva Premiership Rugby double header on Saturday. Wasps have won their last two away games, the most recent of which was also at Kingston Park!

The Londoners have a terrific recent record at Kingston Park, being victorious on their last five visits.

Referee: J P Doyle (13th Premiership game)

Following a bonus point victory over Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park this afternoon, Bath Rugby join Northampton Saints, Leicester Tigers and Llanelli Scarlets in the semi-finals of the 2011-12 LV= Cup.

The Scarlets travel to Sale Sharks this weekend for the final pool round of their LV=Cup competition (kick off 1500 Saturday 4th February) with three wins from three so far in the competition.

Deprived of the services of a dozen players this week due to international call ups, it's a reshuffled Gloucester Rugby side who take on London Irish in the LV= Cup this weekend.
