London Welsh had a nightmare European debut at The Kassam Stadium against Stade Francais Paris and now they look again for their first win when they travel to Italy to take on I Cavalieri Prato in Round 2.
But former London Wasps lock and 2004 Heineken Cup winner Martin Purdy has warned that London Welsh can ill afford to take the Italians lightly.
"We have to play properly otherwise Prato will turn us over," said Purdy, who spent two seasons in Italy at Gran Parma and L'Aquila.
"I was pleased I only got five minutes against Stade Francais the way we were getting an absolute drubbing - although the first two things I did led to tries for them - and it wasn't the best day at the office for anyone.
"Whether our attitude was wrong or we gave them too much respect, they pretty much beat us at every aspect of the game.
"We'll look at the things we did that were technically wrong and correct them, but mainly it was an attitude thing. We've got to put that right and not concede 50 points again."
One familiar face in their line-up on Saturday could be prop Guillermo Roan, who made 14 appearances, including scoring one try, for the Exiles last season on loan from Wasps.
