London Scottish head coach Simon Amor insists there is no Athletic Ground crisis, despite watching his slump to its third straight defeat.

The Exiles lost 37-16 at fierce rivals Rosslyn Park - their heaviest loss of the season - to continue their nightmare start to the new National Division One campaign.

It was Amor’s third game in charge since taking over the reigns from departed director of rugby Brett Taylor - who took Scottish to a second-place finish last term.

And while the former London Wasps scrum-half says he is still enjoying life at the helm, the head coach admits there is a lot of work to do.

“We’re not up to scratch at the moment. We're conceding too many turnovers. Our handling and passing were poor, and our defence too,” he said.

“The league is a step up this year and Rosslyn are a good side. It'll be a tough season.

“It is certainly not a crisis though. We're confident. Nobody’s panicking.

“We may make a couple of tweaks to our side to try and get the right combinations.

“But if we can address our problems, get a few players back from injury and play to our potential we'll have a very good side.”

London Scottish's next three games: Sept 25 Redruth (h), Oct 2 Otley (a), 9 Tynedale (h).
