London Scottish will face Pontypridd in the British and Irish Cup for the second time in as many years after the Principality Premiership and SWALEC Cup champions beat Cardiff 40-12 at Sardis Road on Saturday.

Last season it was honours even with Ponty winning in Wales, 27-20, and Scottish securing victory on home soil a week later, 26-21.

It was the Welsh outfit who progressed from the Pool before losing out to eventual winners Leinster 'A' in the semi-finals, on try count, following a tense clash at Sardis Road which ended 22-22 (aet).

This season, the Scots will travel to Wales on the weekend of October 10-12 (date tbc) with Ponty making the trip to London on Saturday, December 13, 3pm kick-off.

Both teams are in Pool One alongside 2011 winners Bristol Rugby and Connacht.
