LONDON Welsh are targeting a record crowd when they host neighbours Wasps at Oxford’s Kassam Stadium on Decmber 29.

Welsh are running a series of promotions for the Christmas Aviva Premiership clash, including £10 tickets.

The Exiles’ Premiership debut against Leicester on September 2 was witnessed by 6,850 fans - and they would love to beat that mark.

Welsh are putting on a festive fun day, live music and will be running Facebook and Twitter competitions.

Hala’ufia was red-carded during the Aviva Premiership match at the Kassam Stadium.

He pleaded guilty to breaching Law 10.4 (j) at an RFU disciplinary panel in Bristol and must pay £500 costs.
