GREENE KING IPA CHAMPIONSHIP

LONDON Welsh head coach Justin Burnell was keen to keep his side grounded after their third straight win, but he had no doubt as to their “biggest improvement”.

The Exiles defeated Plymouth Albion 40-9 at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday to stay second in the table.

Although disappointed with some of Welsh’s errors, Burnell was delighted with a try shut-out.

“We conceded a try in the last couple of minutes against Chinnor and the same thing happened against the Scarlets, Bedford and Nottingham,” said Burnell.

“At the end, Plymouth were trying everything and they didn’t score. That is a massive step in the right direction.

“There’s one big plus to come out of it.”
