London Welsh will play pre-season friendlies against Bath and the Scarlets as the club builds towards its first-ever season in the Aviva Premiership.

The Exiles face Bath at The Recreation Ground on August 11 (2.15pm kick-off) in what will be the first meeting between the two clubs since the 1992/93 season, when Bath won 37-7 on home soil.

Welsh then travel to Parc y Scarlets. While the Exiles may have a rich history against Bath, as well as Llanelli RFC, August 25 (2pm kick-off) will be the first-ever meeting between London Welsh and the Scarlets.
