RugbyU: London Welsh consider CAS appeal

London Welsh chief executive Tony Copsey on Wednesday said the Premiership club have not ruled out continuing their fight for justice after they failed to overturn a five-point deduction for fielding an ineligible player. Former Welsh team manager Mike Scott falsified documents in an effort to cover up the fact he had not secured the correct visa for New Zealand-born scrum-half Tyson Keats. When Premiership Rugby found out, they came down hard on the top flight club, hitting them with a £15,000 ($22,534) fine as well as the points deduction.
