LONDON Welsh will appeal the Rugby Football Union (RFU)'s ruling which deemed their plans to bring Premiership rugby to the Kassam Stadium ineligible.
The Exiles' board met this morning to discuss their options in the wake of their 66-41 aggregate Championship play-off victory against Cornish Pirates in Oxford last night.
London Welsh were told last week by the RFU's board of directors their proposed ground-share plans had failed to meet the mimimum standards criteria.
But London Welsh are confident they have a case and chairman Bleddyn Phillips made it clear the club were also considering alternatives beyond the RFU's appeals process.
He said: “We shall be lodging an appeal in the very near future and in parallel we are pursuing all other available opportunities to make sure we can take our rightful and deserved place in the Aviva Premiership.”
