UPDATE: Bristol and London Welsh have announced their teams for this Sunday's match. For Welsh, Aled Thomas, last season's first choice fly-half, moves to 15 to make room for Scottish International Gordon Ross to take the number 10 shirt. A strong pack has been picked for what is bound to be a physical encounter. The depth of the LW squad is demonstrated by the quality of substitutes.
